The challenge for day 4 is a recipe challenge: kraft, snowflakes and embossing. For this card I chose to play with the ice skating Sunbonnet image. I colored her with Promarkers and gave her some glitter on the brim of her bonnet. For the sky, I used blue paint and a snowflake stamp from Fiskars. I heat embossed with white EP. The houses are made with stamps from Panduro. I stamped onto kraft and used a white gel pen for the snow. The ice is made of foil, I got it from my sister who's a hairdresser, she uses this type when doing highlights. She's also given me some green and pink foil to play with. They come in very practical small rolls.
I added seam binding ribbon with an ice skate metal charm, as well as letter stickers for the sentiment.

What a great idea to use the highlights foil. I know just the type that you mean...Brilliant idea!
You have been so dedicated to this challenge. I hope you win some lovely prizes!!!
The houses on kraft look great and I like the contrast between the foil, the kraft and the DP.
Very cool card! Love how you've created the ice and the skate is a wonderful touch.

Fabulous card and scene Pia..Loz
This is precious. It has so much dimension with the sky, buildings, snow, ice, skater and ribbon. It is more a work of art than a card. Priceless! Donna
