Wish upon a Star

Yes another go at the Less is More challenge 'Stars' using Polar Pals again but, this time, a side-step card. I made the card blank with some white card and sponged the sky with Night of Navy ink before adding some torn White Whisper card for the snow, then it was just a case of making up the story. Mr Polar Bear bringing presents for the little penguins who are 'wishing on a star' that they get what they want!! (are you ready for bed yet??) I used a snowflake stamp from Serene Snowflakes for the stars in the sky, the star the penguins are holding and sentiment are both from Pennant Parade - all silver embossed. The sentiment was punched with the Modern Label punch and layered onto a Decorative Label with copious amounts of Dazzling Diamonds sprinkled around the card. I'm not too sure that this card can be considered 'Less' but I'm hoping that, as a lot of is white, Chrissie & Mandi will let me get away just this once!

The Polar Pals set is a fabulous set and absolutely perfect if you have to make children's cards (or even for some big kids) You get 9 stamps all for the incredible price of £22.95 for wood mount (or £17.95 for clear mount) so that works out to £2.55 per stamp (£1.99 for clear mount) - such incredible value for a set of stamps which can be used together or individually.
If you would like to order this, or any other products from the catalogue then please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll be happy to help.
(Individual orders carry a p&p charge of £4.95)

Stars

This LIM challenge is getting worryingly obsessive with me as I am going out this morning but still had to have a quick go at the Stars challenge before I go!! So it is by no means perfect (please don't look closely at the embossing!) I used a Night of Navy card blank with a strip of torn Whisper White across the bottom then silver embossed some stars across the top. The bear is from Polar Pals and I stamped him in Basic Gray then coloured him in using my markers before cutting him out and placing him 'in the snow'. The sentiment is from Contempo Christmas and after stamping I used a glue pen to squiggle some lines and added Dazzling Diamonds.
Oh and congratulations to the lovely, and very talented, Vicky who is the LIM guest designer this week!
