Ice Skating Bears, House-Mouse & Friends MC, Challenge #108

Hello again! It's time for a NEW CHALLENGE over at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge Blog!  This one is being hosted by our Lovely and very talented Teamie, Stacy Morgan, and we are creating ***THANKFUL*** projects.  It could be as simple as a thank you sentiment, so the possibilities are endless! Perfect for this time of year, heh?  :) 

Here is my take - to thank my Kid's Ice Skating Instructor for another great session of lessons!!
same card, different lighting and views
I added Stickles to the Ice Skates & scarves; punched the edges with the icicle MS punch; sponged all around card's edge & topped it all off with light blue sparkly Rhinestones.

CARD RECIPE:
Stamps: Stampabilities, House-Mouse Designs, "BEARS on ICE", LR1011 
Paper: Winter & Icicles DP, MM White & Blue Textured CS
Ink: Copics, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders, Cuttlebug EF, MS Snowflake & Border Punch, Rhinestones, Stickles
Techniques: Sponging, Dry Embossing

  2. Wow, what a great card. It almost makes me want to turn up the heat in the house because it is so realistic that I get the feeling it's cold enough to ice skate outside. Love that border punch and your snowflakes are just the perfect embellishment. Thanks for sharing.
