Less is More - Favorite Drink

It has been raining and freezing here, well our definition of freezing...which is in the 40's.  A very rainy week, so not much outdoor activities this past week.  Lots of gym time though!

We have a new challenge starting over at Less is More and the theme for this challenge is favorite drink. Of course, when I first saw the theme, I immediately went to a cocktail.  However, in light of this cold weather, I changed it up a bit and went for the hot chocolate instead!

Here is my take on the theme...

I was watching a video from Sandy Allnock which inspired me for this card.  She created a blizzard card using copics markers.  I'm not that creative, so I created my blizzard using a stencil and distressed inks. But used my copic markers to color my main images.  This is a one-layer card, so I masked off my images prior to adding the background inking.


Here is a bit of a close up of the card.  You can see the white snow drift on the sweater of the polar bear!  Thank you Sandy for the inspiration!

  7. Awesome card Susan! Your colouring is perfect... such a cute bear! I love this snowy scene and it feels particularly appropriate as I've been on the hot chocolate the last few nights. It's so rainy and grey here too! Have a good week :)

  9. Woah! That is one brilliantly chilly background Susan - I can hear the wind whistling just by looking at it! What a stunner of a card. Fab colouring and the red jumper makes that polar bear look so snugly warm. So sorry about how late I am in commenting this week but I have been run off my feet! xx
