Arctic friends

Some of you may remember this card that I shared back in September. I really liked how this one turned out so I used the same stamp from Penny Black and another quarter of my galaxy background panel to create a similar but different card.


For this one, I heat embossed my image onto a piece of vellum and used a white coloured pencil to add some 'colour' and texture to the stars, the polar bear and the penguin's belly. I created the snowy ground using puff embossing powder.

I'm linking up my card at:

    Wow, this is fabulous Marianne! The vellum has given your card a lovely soft look, what a great idea to add a bit of white pencil to the back. I also love the fantastic background you created... it's a whole universe of stars. Gorgeous!
    Cheers,
    Beccy

    While I'm nibbling on home-roasted chestnuts, this is the perfect addition to my "get in the Christmas mood" agenda! That background is truly galactic!
    Cheers, Barbara
