Penguin Ski Jump

This is a card I made in our TV show, my photography has turned the colours a little funny but I used a pale blue Distress inkpad to edge the torn card and to colour the snowy background.
I created the snowy background by stamping and embossing the large polka dots in white onto white glossy card, I then applied Distress ink over the top.
On the igloo I applied a little bit of Diamond Glaze to each block of ice to give it texture.
Stamps Used:
Playful Penguins,
Dots & Stars,
Christmas Sentiment Circles

Baubles & Twas

Vicky created this card using our Christmas Sentiment Circles set. The solid circles are embossed with regular Silver Embossing Powder, the snowflake circle in White Diamond Embossing Powder.
The background Twas stamp is embossed in Detail Silver embossing powder.

Lesley made this card using our Polar Bears stamp set and the background is from the new Hot Off The Press Color Me Papers Glossy. It has been inked with two Distress inkpads. The polar bears have ben stamped onto white card and then coloured with a grey Promarker just around the edges.

On this card the image has been stamped and embossed in black onto a laminating sheet (sticky backed plastic), cut out, the backing removed and then the sticky area has been covered with imitation gold leaf. The background flower is from the same set and has been stamped onto the black card with gold ink.
