Snowy Faux Postcard

This next card was inspired by a postcard.  I used Garden Green Ink to stamp the pine trees in the background.  I stamped them several times before re-inking to give the affect of a whole forest.  I cute the snow banks from white paper and then sponged grey ink on them.  

 

The bear is from Magnolia.  He is just so darn cute!!!  I couldn't wait to ink him up.  After coloring him I cut him out.  I glued all the pieces together.  I added some clear Stickles to the snow banks and under the bear. 


I found a tiny tiny little snowflake punch.  I added just a few punches to the card.  It is a small detail, that many don't even notice. 

Lastly, I added the faux postage stamp.  I wish it only cost 15 cents to mail something! 

Copics used:
Brown: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, R20
Belly: E41, E42
Red: R24, R27, R29


Enjoy your Monday!
