Jellypark Friends - Winter Animals

Have you had enough rest for the holidays?  If you're ready to get back to crafting it's time for a new Jellypark Friends challenge.  I am so glad that the challenges are back and even happier that the holiday craziness has subsided.   Oddly, if you live in my neck of the woods, things in general are starting to get a little crazy as this is "the season" and the snow birds are arriving en masse, they don't disturb my crafting, if anything they make me want to stay home more and then I craft more.   But I digress...

This week's challenge is "Winter Animals" which gives me an excuse to use one of my favorite images from the Christmas collection.  I just love these Polar bears and knew I was going to use the S.E.I. paper with the green snowflakes I just didn't know I was going to make a shaped card - especially when I didn't have to!  Well, if you follow me or are a regular on Splitcoast Stampers you know that I won the grand prize, a Pazzle, for completing all the Hope You Can Cling To challenges.  If you don't know what a Pazzle is, it's an electronic cutting machine, which operates off computer software.  It's very cool, and that's what I used to make the cup.  I cut out two of them and adhered them together with a small piece of matching card stock.  I suppose I could have made it with a fold on the left hand side but I thought of that after I started playing around.  While there are snowflakes borders I could have made with the Pazzle I have an EK Success punch which I used for this border.   I used the little flakes that it punched out to decorate the card.  I'm going to tell you a secret, and this is a tip for the Top Tip Tuesday challenge.  There was a little pink dot on my image so I covered it with one of the snowflakes.  There's almost always something you can do to save your work when something goes wrong.  Just remember - "embellish, embellish, embellish".
