I used the Crayon Resist technique to keep the polar bear & penguin tummy white while sponging Marina Mist onto the Glossy White Paper. Over at Hand Stamped Sentiments you could use the Shaving Cream, Crayon, or Popping Pastels as a technique for your project. The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches. I suppose in hindsight I should have used the snowflake embossing folder, but I was using up pieces of embossed paper which I already had.
I've been busy planning, cutting and prepping for upcoming events. It's a busy time of year - but lots of fun too. Hope things are going tickety-boo for you this weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Love your "polar" card! The snowflakes are the perfect accent! So glad you joined us at Freshly Made Sketches!
The blues with the white makes a wonderful color combo. I laughed at the different poles. I would have never thought of that. The crayon technique works so well with this. The snowflakes are a lovely detail. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Love this Joan! Had a giggle at the different poles remark...LOL! yes, globally friendly indeed! Thanks for playing along at Freshly Made Sketches!
Joan, this is fantastic. I love the crayon resist with this set of stamps. You know, my husband would have said the same thing...made me laugh!! Glad to see you this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Crayon resist? Brilliant! I wouldn't have thought about them being from two different poles, but my husband would have totally caught it too! I just know it's cold where they live and that's good for me. :o) Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Joan, my son would love this card! He is really into polar animals right now. Great color choices and technique. Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments. You always do such a great job on your projects!
Great card! I love those images and what a great idea to use crayon resist. I would have masked the but this makes sure the image stays white. Thanks for playing with us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I LOVE your card, this was my VERY first technique I learned at my first card class. It is what made me fall in love with card making. I thought it was so cool that something so neat and easy made a card look so amazing. Thanks for playing along with us at HSS!!

So clean and crisp, and the colors make me feel a chill in the air! Very nicely done. Thanks for playing with Freshly Made Sketches!
Ahhh...crayon resist....another technique I haven't done in a while. What perfect little creatures for this technique. I would never have known that they are from different regions...they're both from cold climates, right?! :) Thank you for sharing your super cute card at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
Joan, your Post made me chuckle about including "bi-polar" animals on the same card. Haha! Love all of the cool blues you used along with those snowflake accents. Very nice! Have a great day! Hugs! :)
Joan,
I love how you used the crayon resist technique for your animals. Love the snowflake die cuts! Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
So glad your polar bears and penguin are living in harmony on your sweet card! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
