Polar Path

I have always loved paper piecing, so I decided to give it a whirl with this adorable cling stamp set from Stampendous called Polar Path .
I used three different papers for each of the polar bears. After stamping and piecing the image, I cut out the main panel using Spellbinders Labels Fifteen Nestabilities . I created the background after seeing an excellent tutorial by the ultra talented Kathy Racoosin . You can find it HERE . I simply followed her instructions using Tumbled Glass , Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Inks. I've gotta warn you...it was really fun and potentially addictive! Ha!

The snowflakes were cut using MFT's Let It Snowflake Die-Namics . I coated them with Mono Multi Liquid Glue then sprinkled on Crystal Ultrafine Glitter .

The border on the bottom of both the front and inside was cut with MFT's Jumbo Ric Rac Die-Namics . The sentiment on the inside is Northwoods Script Merry Christmas . The cardstock is Blush Red Dark , and the designer paper is Basic Grey Figgy (from a prior year). Gotta use up some of my paper, ya know! :)

Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I hope you all had a mojo-filled Monday! I will be back soon with something new. Until then...
