Polar Bears

I was so excited when I saw the inspiration from Inspired by all the little things for this week.

 

 

I had just made a card which has a perfect sky for this challenge

I distressed the circles with blue ink to make them stand out and tore the card stock before adding glitter to make it look like snow..

Swinging heart

Iinspired by all the little things have this photo

 

 

Recently I made this card and it fits the criteria, colourwise, perfectly.

 

I cut a circle in the kraft topper. Then I used a double die to cut the white circular rim which I secured to the kraft. The crochet cotton was secured to the back to the craft and the entire topper was given some dimension with the use of double sided foam squares.

The sentiment is hand written
