Hello Crafters.
I still cant believe the sunny weather we are having can you. I don’t mind admitting I am finding it very hard to make Christmas cards in such warm sunshine. But here is a lovely stamp from Hobby Art made from grey rubber A lady Pm’d me on Facebook and asked me to recommend a nice easy stamp to use for quick Christmas cards Fergus the polar bear came to mind as he is a quick stamp and lovely to use.
I used a Momento Inkpad in London Fog to stamp him out onto white pearlised card-stock. I than heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder I added a few snowflakes and then heat embossed those in white and then added a little frantage to them just to make them glisten. I coloured the scarf in pro-markers, coloured his nose black and put a small dollop of glossy accents on it to he will have a shiny nose. swirled the back in pale blue with a stencil brush and added a little blue dotty ribbon and matted it with silver mirri-card. The card I used comes embossed with snow flakes so all I did was to rub a little pewter gilding wax over the raised images to make them stand out. Then stuck the topper to the card added a Happy Christmas sentiment and there it was job done ….I quick easy card that would be ideal for a beginner or if you have a batch to do for school or table top sale.
Such a cute card Bernie and I agree it is hard to make Christmas themed projects when it is still warm and sunny outside ?xx
Thankyou Bernie … Love this card and the colours too. I think the colours are perfect for a polar bear card … Even though it’s ‘warmish ‘ outside it makes me feel chilly looking at this, which is just what you would want! Brilliant !! xx
Thank you both for your kind comments xxxx
So glad you like it X B
