Uninked Challenge #4

I don't often use cutesy stamps but this challenge has me breaking away from my usual style. But guess that is why some of my stamps have not been inked LOL! The polar bear and sentiment were both RAKs and unidentified. The polar bear was my uninked stamp.

I started the background by adhering aluminum foil to cardstock and color with a blue sharpie marker. Then I dry embossing foil with Tim's ice breaking folder. And finished by adding a thin layer of stickles.

I die cut 3 labels from watercolor paper and water colored image with distress inks. Glued the 3 layers together using the 2nd layer for a slight drop shadow.

I stamped and heat embossed the word joy in black archival ink on vellum.
Thanks so much for looking!...Jan

The background is so cool with foil matched with that embossing folder. That one is not one I have seen before (I think). The polar bear is fun and festive for the holiday season! He may not be your style, but you used him so well!
