Polar Expressions II

Time for another Holly and Ivy Challenge and time to add another card to my stash.  This is a redo of a previous design from a few years ago.   I cut these two bears (Amy Design Winter Friends) from white card stock and then from white felt and stacked them up so my bears have a lovely fur coat to keep them warm on the long winter nights up at the North Pole.  I added small black circles (cut with various flower centre dies) coated with glossy accents for their noses - I had tried to colour their noses with black markers but that didn't work out very well as you can imagine.  I added depth (or at least tried to) with just a little broken china DI around the edges of the bears and the snow bank.

The shadowed sentiment (Poppy Stamps Proper Merry Christmas) was cut from black card stock, coated with glossy accents and sprinkled with holographic glitter in keeping with this starry night DP panel.

Here's a cloeseup so you can see the details on the sparkly sentiment and the fur coats on the polar bears!
