hello lovely stampers!
It's time for the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and sketches and this time Joanne has proposed an awesome sketch perfect for CAS cards.
I just love making panels using the ink smooshing technique with distress oxide inks. You never know how it's going to turn out, but they're always beautiful and this one is no exception!
I cut one of the inked panels down to create the lower portion of the card, then stamped the sentiment in one of the blues used in the panel. The ice floe was stamped and die cut then inked gently around the edges and popped up on foam squares. The iceberg was die cut and inked around the edge and a little on the front to bring out the detail.
The polar bear was die cut from different white card, stacked three times and adhered on the ice floe with foam squares along his back to give him stability.
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we can't wait to see your card in our gallery!

Rachel this is fabulous! I love how you made a scene out of the sketch layout with your polar bear and I'm in awe of the smooshed water - when I try that kind of thing it ends up as one hot mess lol!
