Craft Challenge Blog #777

 Hi friends!

I know I've been quiet quite a bit lately. I am always still here working behind the scenes but lately I've been adjusting my daily routine and trying to pack more into my day. It's not easy! I'm getting it done though.

This week's challenge over on the CRAFT Challenge Blog has a theme of Seasons/Weather and the sponsor is: Polkadoodles Crafts. The design I am using is: Parkie Polar Bear and Theo Penguin. This pair is so cute. I paired them with a stamp set from Picket Fence Studios.

Supplies are listed at the end, here are my instructions:

1. Bring the file into the software of your electronic cutting machine. I am using a Silhouette Studio. 
2. Resize the image to fit inside a rectangle that is 4x5.25 inches. 
   
   
   
3. Using the print and cut feature, make sure the design will be cut only on the outside. Print the design and cut it with your cutting machine.  For some reason, I couldn't get the software to NOT cut off one of his ears. It still printed okay and I was able to attached it on the backside so if you have the same problem, no worries, it still can work.
4. Use alcohol markers to color the design.
   
   
   
5. From the stamp stamp set, stamp the glacier in a medium to light blue color and the sentiment in black.
   
   
   
6. Smear some of the blue ink on your work mat and spritz with water. Use a paint brush lightly color in the glacier. Let dry.
   
   
   
7. Using scissors, cut the glacier and the sentiment out separately and set aside.
8. Using a dark blue paper, cut a background panel measuring 4.25x5.5 inches. I used a stitched die but just cutting is okay too. 
9. Using a white paint, water it down and splatter with a fan brush to give a snowy effect.
10. Adhere the bear to the glacier to he is sitting on it, then adhere to the blue background panel. 
11. Using foam tape, adhere the sentiment to the panel.
12. Add holographic stars to the sky. 
13. Adhere the whole project to an A2 size card panel and add a sentiment of your choice inside. 

    Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.
