I stamped the image in black pigment ink onto mixed media paper. I heat set the image before watercolouring using Distress Inks (see below card recipe for list). Red chalk was added to the bear's cheeks. The image was die-cut using the matching die (Merry Days Cut Out 51-836).
I used a second piece of mixed media paper, adding a watercolour wash to the background with Salvaged Patina ink. Once dry, I splattered with diluted white gouache paint and then added some torn snowhills at the bottom.
Stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black pigment ink and then adhered the image flush at the bottom, popping up the top for added dimension. The panel was adhered to a card base.

I just adore those cute bears Loll and brilliant watercolouring as usual, and the Salvaged Patina makes the perfect sky background and the added snow hills finish the scene with the lovely added sentiment. x

This is sweet and so flawlessly colored, Lolly! It looks like a print! You always do beautiful skies, excellent torn snow banks, and perfect white snow! Love, Dolly
I just love the snowflakes you create with the torn paper. I never get that delamination effect at the edge of the paper. And that cute pair of Christmas bears is so cute. Beautifully done watercolor coloring.
hugs,
