I hemmed and hawed over this one and I'm not even sure why, as the color pairing is SO pretty! I ended up making a Christmas card and although it's very simple, I really like the way it turned out! Take a look...
I love these Nordic Bears from Poppystamps and die cut them from white, Ocean Mist, & Blue Lagoon cardstock (Gina K). I die cut a Snowflakes (PFS) background and layered it over a Blue Lagoon card base, and then added a frame made from PFS's Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die set.
The bears were added with foam tape for a bit of dimension, and then I finished with some clear gems from PFS in the snowflake centers and a bit of black & white twine at the top to balance out the black & white pre-printed sentiment strip (Gina K). Easy peasy and I think those cute bears steal the show!! Should have made more than one, dang it!! Oh well, easy enough to replicate! Hardest part of this card was poking out all the little bits from the snowflake background!
Make sure you check out all the awesome WHITE & AQUA cards from the DT and our Special GD Nance for inspiration right HERE and then play along with us! We'd love to see YOU in the gallery!! This challenge is open till Sunday, July 14th @ 9:00AM.WHITE
