Eskimo fishes and warm wishes

Christmas in July!  Well there is a Christmas sale on at The Little Paper Tree, so here is my card to give you inspiration

Here's what you will need:
A5 card blank
Blue Sparkle paper
Light blue card
Stamping card
Heffy Doodles Warm Hugs stamp
Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed ink pad
Catherine Pooler Tutti Frutti ink pad
Picket Fence Blending brushes
Versa fine Onyx Black ink pad
Ice Sparkle Glitter glue
Double sided tape
Black fine liner
3D foam pads

Here is how I made it:

1. Using the large blending brush, gently brush the Something Borrowed ink from the top of the card to half way down, using a teared strip of paper to stop the ink where the snow would start.
2. Repeat this lower down on an angle to show snow hills, then glitter.
3. Stamp the igloo and Eskimo on a separate piece of stamping card and colour using the Catherine Pooler inks, then cut out leaving a small border.
4. Stamp the ice hole, bucket, fish and fishing rod onto the main picture and colour.  Use a fine liner to draw the fishing line in.
5. Using 3D foam pads, stick the Eskimo and igloo onto the card.
6. Stamp and glitter the small snowflakes onto the sky area.
7. Stamp the sentiment onto a separate piece of card and cut out as an arrow.  Use 3D foam to mount onto card.
8. Using the Blue sparkle paper, and light blue card, mount onto the A5 card blank.
