Lots of love

Polar Love

Hello and Happy Monday!
I don´t know you, but here we are having polar days... this morning we woke up at -22°C! If this continues the same we'll have a very polar Valentines' day.
I made this card for the progressive challenge at Imagine that! I went very CAS, thinking in a masculine card.

The image is called Polar Love and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a turquoise cardstock mat. I glittered the snow to give the bright effect.

For the background I used a blue cardstock and an embossing folder Diamond on Diamond (Sizzix). The sentiment is one that comes with the cute image and used the same turquoise carrdstock for mat.

I used pink cardstock and Swirl Vines With Hearts embossing folder for the background, Folia and Alt dp for the panels at the sides of the image.
