Christmas Bears – Sledge Sneak Peek

I’ve another sneak peek today, this little poppet is called Christmas Bears – Sledge and is from the second Christmas release from Lili of the Valley.  I just love the detail in these stamps, those little robins are too cute!

 

Jacqui and I have been beavering away behind the scenes for a while now colouring in all the images for advertising and the colour scheme this time is icy colours so these Bo Bunny Winter Joy papers fitted in with the pre-coloured image perfectly.  I always make the card first then colour my image so everything matches (yes I am positively anal about colours matching lol) so find it difficult to work the other way round.  So for this batch of colouring I actually picked the papers I was going to use for each image as I coloured them so when it came to making up the card it was all planned out.  It’s saved a lot of time doing it this way – note to self, remember to do this every time Bev.

I added Liquid Applique to the trees for snow and whilst still wet I poured some glitter over then blasted with a heat gun so the glitter set in to the puffy stuff as it swelled and dried.

 

The icicle border was punched with a Martha Stewart punch then slathered in Stickles and glamour dust for added bling.

And a close up of the flowers that were featured on yesterday’s Quick Flicks on the  Ideas to Inspire blog.  I love how the Twinklets (from Crafts U Love) totally transform a simple mulberry poinsettia flower especially when those gorgeous moonstone brads are added into the mix. 

Back to work today {sulk}, would much rather be at home playing lol.  Have a great week.
