Polar Bear & Star

Hi Everyone,

For today's card I thought I would use an image from Lili of the Valley (LOTV) but decided that it also needed the star to shine.

For this, I have used Chibi Lights and a new Power Pack from Pear Blossom Press.  This makes 'light up' cards so much easier.  No more packing the cards to keep that battery in place.

These will be available in Australia soon through Dawn Lewis.

Ingredients

Image:  Polar Bear & Star

Medium:  Copic Markers

(W8, W7, W5, W3, W1, R20, Y35, Y18, Y15)

Sentiment:  Computer & Foiled in White

Background:  Distress Inks (Broken China, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire)

Lights:  Chibitronics, Power Pack

Other:  Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust, Glossy Accents, Sakura Gelly Roll

Until next time

Melissa
