Fun fold Friday Arctic Bears

 T'is the season to sparkle !!!  That is what today's card is all about but in a subtle way. The fold is a simple one but one that give the bears from the gorgeous Arctic Bears a space to shine. 

The pattern paper, ribbon and shimmer sequines are from the beautiful Peaceful Place suite. The ribbon is a beautiful shimmery iridescent one and the sequins are a mix of soft silver, white and iridescent. The patern papers are all shades of grey, silver and white with beautiful soft patterns on one side and bolder ones on the other with silver fouled accents.

The card is sized to fit into a standard C6 envelope and folds flat. 

From the side you can see how it stands...

 

Well that's it from me for this week. I have loved playing with the Arctic Bears and hope that my creations have inspired you . I do hope you'll have time for some crafting over the weekend. I hope to get a little in before my grandson arrives for an overnight visit.

Gill will be sharing her inspiration here next we so please join me and come see what she's created.

Have fun

Watercolour Wednesday Arctic Bears

 I'm Certainly in a Wink of Stella phase this week! So much so that I have even used it today for watercolour Wednesday!! I have also taken liberties with my colour  palette for my Arctic Bears bundle. The bundle is the stamp set and dies and they are really great.

I started out by stampin the bear in versamark then heat embossed with white powder onto white cardstock.  I then decided on an alternative colour for my bear..... pink!!

The pink colour is called polished pink and one of my favourites 💗.  I took the ink pad and dabbed it onto an acrylic block. Then I took my wink of stella and used it to pick up the colour and paint inside the bear. Once I was happy I used the coordinating dies to cut the bear out. 

Whilst I was colouring in the bear I coloured onto some other white cardstock randomly.  I used this to die cut out the watery swoshy piece and a moon.

Once the principal pieces were done I set to creating the card. I used some pattern paper from a collection called Peaceful Place. 

A stip of white across the bottom to place the watery swishy bit and bear onto. I also stamped a simple sentiment onto the strip.

I know that a pink bear is a little challenging but I was really happy with the finished result. What do you think? 

Would you choose it? Even if you wouldn't please have a go at  using wink of stella to watercolour with. It's a great way to do something a bit different. So have a go and have fun.
