I am literally just skatin’ by this Christmas, as this is only the 3rd fully hand crafted Christmas card I’ve had a chance to make this year. LOL I hope the cuteness of these adorable polar bears from the Sugar Pea Designs Eskimo Kisses stamp set<\/a><\/span> will make up for my lack of crafty mojo.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I Copic colored these cuties with just some blues and some warm and whites\/greys to keep the scene looking cool:
\nBear fur: W0 and W1 with a hint of blush to the cheeks and inside ears with E000
\nFur trim on coat: C00 and C0
\nDark blue: B24 and B28
\nLight blue: B00 and B01
\nI also used a Copic Multiliner Black Pen in 0.05 pt<\/a><\/span> to doodle on skates onto the bear with the coat and stripes onto the scarf of the other bear just to make them coordinate better together. Lastly to add a bit of shine, I used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen<\/a><\/span> on the noses and eyes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the “scene” I used some shimmery silver or cool grey and white card stock and die cut “snow banks” with Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Dies<\/a><\/span>. The sky is just some scrap pale blue card stock. The sentiment on the front is a simple “Holiday Greetings”, and the inside sentiment is the longer, perfectly coordinated sentiment, “Just Skatin’ By with a Very Merry Christmas”, both from the same Sugar Pea Designs “Eskimo Kisses” stamp set.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For some added sparkle, I added 7 (I love adding embellishments in odd numbers) sequins of different sizes to the card front. I used glitter glue to adhere them, adding even more shine.<\/p>\n
