On a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock I blended a mix of Distress Inks and Distress Oxide inks in an ombre fashion. Once that was done, I went over the panel again - this time with the Drifts & Hills stencil and the Mini Cloud Edges stencil. I then spritzed some water over the panel and set it aside to dry.
The polar bear was stamped onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copics. After die-cutting it, I arranged it with a white-embossed sentiment and adhered it with foam tape onto the sponged panel. Both layers were then added to a white top-folding card base.
Thanks for visiting.
