There is Snow Buddy Like You... So cute, I love that sentiment!
Today I had fun playing around with distress oxide inks to create this northern light's sky for this cute little bear from Ink On 3's Snow Buddies Stamp set. I also finally got the New Liquid Pixie Dust in the snail mail (doesn't help the at Canada post is on strikeπ) and was so excited to play with that too!
To make this card was simple, but it did take a few steps. I first stamped out the stars using Juicy Ink and then heat embossed it using the Crystal Clear embossing powder. I then stamped out the bear using Blackout Ink and then masked him off to work on the background also masking the snow area. Next, I used various sizes of the blending brushes to add the colors to the sky (see links below for the colors used) I then spritzed the background with water to lift off some of the color and removed the masks. Next, I lightly rubbed the color off the stars using a paper towel to reveal the white of the paper behind the clear embossing.
I then colored my little bear in using Zig Markers and applied a coat of liquid pixie dust to the scarf and hat. I then took a larger paintbrush and painted the whole bottom of the card with the pixie dust to create a glittery snow effect. Once that area was dry I stamped out the sentiment under the bear and finished the card by adding all the embellishing touches. The glossy accents to the eyes and the nose, the white gel highlights and falling snow and finally the strip of Stickles glitter glue along the edge of the snow.
Hope you liked today's Snow Buddy Northern Lights Sparkle Card. I will try posting a video on Instagram later to see if I can capture the shine better.
Also, make sure you stop by Ink On 3 for more details on this fabulous new product! It is amazing!!! It is kinda like the Wink of Stella pens but way more concentrated and you get SO much more of if it the bottle. Super easy to apply and you can add it to any medium to create a sparkly color or add overtop once you are done the coloring.
