Such awesome challenges all week....didn't have much chance to 'play', so my creation combines these four challenges:
Technique Lovers: Pink, shimmer, encouragement;
Color Challenge: Pink, Olive, Chocolate Chip
Sketch Challenge: given layout
Ways to use it: Just one word as a sentiment
The eskimo girl stamp was colored with Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip markers direct to stamp. Since I don't have H20's, I painted her with Lumiere and pink Pearlex. Liquid Applique was heated for her furry coat, then painted with Lumiere. The penguin was painted with Lumiere also. Liquid Pearls plus Dazzling Diamonds glitter were used for the snow. 'Believe' was stamped on wide ribbon with Stazon. After much time and many layers, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for looking!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors, the dimension, and nice green trees that you don't often see with Eskimos or penguins. I also like the toothpick-banner idea. TFS!

Fantastic card!! Great job on combining all four challenges. There are so many wonderful things about your card. My favorite being the penguin holding the toothpick banner.
