I wasn't very happy with my first card for today's challenge, much happier with this one .
The base is 5 3/4" square, and because I wanted it embossed I used faux dry-embossing, punching out several shapes of snowflakes from the same cream card as the base. After stamping the sentiment I stuck them down randomly.
Stampavie image stamped on watercolour paper. I coloured the bears with H2Os and the sky with re-inkers, but everything else is Stickles, with some Liquid Pearls for the falling snow. Distressed the edges and sponged with Antique Linen. It's layered on a piece of vellum with the edges sponged with Stormy Sky.

You have created a beautiful winter scene, Sabrina...the snowflakes in the background add just the right amount of texture and your Stickles painting combined the H2O's looks STUNNING!!!!!

Wow Sabrina this is gorgeous - wish I could see this IRL - it even sparkles here so I'm sure it is even sparklier (is that a word?) IRL!! I love the faux embossing and that water is awesome!

Wow Sabrina, this must look gorgeous with the h2o's as well as the stickles. It's really hard to capture the sheen of h2o's on camera but it looks like you used it on the sky. Beautiful job.
