The polar bear is stamped using white craft ink. I picked a pale colored background so the bear would show up against the backdrop. I masked the bottom of the bear, then stamped the ice piece for the bear to sit on. A little Dazzling Diamonds is along the edges of the ice for a sparkly, frozen look. I added a small sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes to the panel to complete the scene.I used a cool blue/purple color scheme for the rest of the card. The Bashful Blue panel on the card base is embossed with a polka dotted Texturz plate. Here's a little hint to get a better impression when you're using these plates--spritz the cardstock lightly with some rubbing alcohol before running the plate through the Big Shot. The alcohol makes the paper just a bit more pliable and evaporates more quickly than water would.

So cute, Lori! I'm loving all the blues surrounding the white polar bear.
