I'd like to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter, and I hope that you were lucky enough to be visited by the Easter Bunny bearing some chocolate goodies. Spring is finally here in my neck of the woods and the magnificent magnolia tree that I can see from my desk is now more or less in full bloom. I'm just hoping that we get a week or two to enjoy it before the winds come back and blow the flowers off the tree again!
Welcome to another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This time we have a beautiful photo to inspire us and I came up with this card:-
I have a really sweet new stamp set from Mama Elephant called Bear Hugs, and I chose to make them polar bears rather than brown bears. I cut a panel using the MFT Diagonal Stitched Dies and stamped the bears and the moon. I then made masks for the bears, moon and a snowbank before stamping and embossing the snow with clear embossing powder. I took several colours of distress ink and created the sky before removing the masks, and colouring the bears. To finish it off, I added the sentiments, and matted the panel onto some navy card before placing it on the shaped base card.
