And here's my take on it! The only tiny tweaking I did this time was that my sentiment took up most of the bottom of the card so I could only add a few little gems instead of a line of them.. 8-)
Well, I printed out My Sweet Loving this White Stuff Bear onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I added a bit of shading with Antique Linen Distress ink and a little Stardust Stickles to the snow, falling and on the ground, though t's a bit hard to see in my photo. I cut him out and matted him up using my Classic Squares Nestie set and then popped him up with a few dimensionals. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of Kraft CS from my stash embossed with my Sizzix Snowflakes EF, then shaded with my Snow Cap paint dauber and also some Fabulous dp's from MME's Holly Jolly collection and Basic Grey's Wassail Collection too. My I/O Sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a little left over strip of Kraft CS shaded up with a little more with my Snow Cap paint dauber. To finish it all up, I added some ribbon from my stash, a few sweet adhesive gems, a few Fun snowflakes I made up with my MFT Snowflake Trio Die-namics and a touch of more Stardust Stickles for a bit more Bling..
Here are a couple of pics of the inside with a gift card inside so you can see how it will look..8-)
