Polar Peace at Christmas

     This adorable image is from Deedee's Digis "Polar Peace" set and I just love it!


I based this on the sketch at Everybody-Art
turned sideways 1/4 turn.


     I started with a pre-colored image, then added my own sky, some shading on the ice flow and under the critters, and also a bit of sparkle gel ink on the ice.  The image is die cut and corner punched, then layered onto a die cut mat.  That piece is layered onto a darker purple mat and corner punched again.

     The sentiment is from that same set, hand cut and inked on the edge.  I added ribbon scraps to wrap around the card front and to make the bow.  In fact, now that I think about it, everything is done with scraps including the white CS on which I printed the image and sentiment.


      One more darling card to add to my Christmas stash, which is growing nicely and I'm confident I'll have all I need plus some to donate to the Senior Center so that their participants have cards to give to family even though they can't get out to buy cards.  Each year I donate cards and you should see the looks on their faces when they get to go through the box and choose the ones they want!  Makes me feel good just seeing their smiles.  :-D

     Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie

Admittedly the image is cute and the non traditional Christmas colours are fresh but, sadly, this entry is also using a digi as its centrepiece, which is against our rules at Vintage Stamping Challenge.
