Hello and welcome.  Today starts a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we're being sponsored by Polkadoodles and I would like to thank them for sponsoring our challenge this week and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card uses the Bella Bear Ice Skating image.

After printing it out onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils, before stippling some Adirondack espresso ink using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios.  I then lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and tattered rose distress inks to make it look like Bella Bear was skating in an early morning fog before layering and adding brads.  I then took a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and my big shot dry embossed the card and two strips of scrap card stock before sanding everything to give a distressed look.  I then added my layered image using pop up glue dots.  As an afterthought, I ran a fingernail along the edge of the layered image and distressed it more.  I then added some bakers twine and a glittered prima flower before adding parts of a bridal confetti flower that were colored light green to look like leaves.  The final touches were 3D glaze pens highlighting parts of the image and ice stickles for the skirt.
