Bear and Penguin Mischief


I had lots of fun putting this snowy scene together.
The penguin is clearly the troublemaker - tangling his friend up in fairy lights! :o)


The background was inked up with distress ink, and misted with water.
Then I stamped my sentiment, and added the die-cut festive friends.

I wasn't sure if the 'snow' would be too much - but in the end I went for it, using a stencil and a white gel pen.


Challenge


I have used a touch of orange on the penguin, that's not in the colour scheme,
but it's only a small bit, so hopefully I can get away with it ;o)



  • spellbinders - festive friends
  • ranger distress ink - salty ocean
  • hobbycraft - knit pattern embossing folder
  • sentiment stamp - I love this little stamp, but I've had it forever, and can't remember the make.
  • pretty pink posh - snowfall stencil

Fa La La

Hello.
I am doing the happy crafter's dance today 💃
I have finally cracked SNOW    :o)

I am totally useless at splatter. I have watched endless videos of people doing it, but I just can't get the hang of it myself. But now I have the perfect work around.
When my card was finished, I placed a 'snowfall' stencil over the top, and used a white gel pen through the holes.  Perfect, random snow! 
Don't tell me you've all been doing this for ages :o)


Challenge

Double D Challenges 

I took inspiration from the pale blue colour palette, the snow, and the knitted gloves
(using an embossing folder to give that knit pattern on the bear's jumper)

Playing just for fun, as an international entry 💙
