Our theme for today, and actually all of this month is Dazzling!
For my card this month, I've used the new Sledding image, perfect for someone celebrating a birthday in a cold and snowy January. I prefer to stay inside where it is warm and cozy, but of course others enjoy winter activities.
I've first masked the image, then brayered the background with shades of blue DI. The image itself is then coloured using Tombow markers, after which I added glossy accents to the sled and helmet. The snow has lots of added sparkle, and I've used metallic peel-offs, instead of glitter to trim the red mat.
Not much else for embellishments, as the recipient will be male...
