Polar Bear and Northern Lights- a Christmas card

 Aura Borealis aka Northern Lights light up the night sky as a Polar Bear meanders across the landscape. On the usually barren tundra two Christmas Trees require assessment. 


Blender brushes and 4 different blue inks were applied to Granny Apple Green cardstock in the following order : Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy.

White glimmer paper irregularly cut was added at the bottom for the Bear to walk on and for placement of the trees. The Polar Bear and trees were fussy cut from the Beary Christmas DSP with the edges sponged using Smokey Slate ink. They were added to the card front using dimensionals. Some Wink of Stella was added to the trees.

The sentiment, stamped with Mossy Meadow ink. Was die cut with a Countryside Corner die and added using dimensionals.

Some Basic Gray ink applied lightly below the bear and trees added grounding shadows.

The stars in the sky were made using a white paint pen.
