CAS mix Up Challenge

Happy New Year!!!
I hope your celebrations went well and you are ready to start another year of crafty challenges.
Today marks the first challenge of 2020 at the CAS Mix Up 
Hosted by Hideko

 
And guesting with us for the whole month  is Tristan

My card is one I did for Christmas featuring a Memory box "Gnome for Christmas" polar bear


I started with a die cut square, then stamped the bear, partially die cut him and shaped the  sides to look like snow. He's coloured with copics and his scarf is die cut from a piece of mix media DP. I did an alcohol ink background splattered with gold for the sky line....


Added a little die cut tree and finished with a stamped and gold embossed a sentiment.

I hope you have a minute to check out the cards from the rest of the team and be inspired to play along with us.
Have yourselves a wonderful day

Your polar bear looks so cute against the gorgeous alcohol inked winter sky, Ros!
The die-cut tree is a wonderful addition to the partially die-cut bear and the snow hill.
