Bah Humbug - White on White on white on white on white...

I am so excited to be posting this. I had the best fun in my scrap room for the last two hours. Just what I needed. It is my first time entering a BAH Humbug challenge!

I love science documentaries and I remember sitting with my Dad watching TV when I was younger and he said, "Do you know the only reason why polar bears can be seen by other animals in the snow? Their black noses."
So my sentiment inside the card is:
'I hope I can see you this Christmas!'
which I am sending to my cousin who lives 4000km away. She only comes home here for Christmas. 


One of my all time favourite bloggers is Popsicle Toes. Donna does some amazing multi-layering and her white embossed layered look is awesome! Donna is on the DT for BAH Humbug too. See her DT for this challenge HERE.

 
So I tried my best to channel my inner Popsicle tootsies and give her style a go. It was so much fun.  I even used Design Studio - Talk about being authentically Popsicle!


A while ago I even I challenged myself to try and OUTLAYER the masterful Donna! (I know right... I was thinking 20 layers could just about cut it) I achieved SEVEN layers thick! Woooooo!
White on White challenge was a horrendous prospect with the amount of mess and goop all over my table!  But I think I managed to keep most of it clean. And what I didn't, I layered underneath! Lol!!! Yay for layering!
 
I was proud even for getting the trees done!

Thanks BAH Humbug for a great challenge. 

Thanks Donna for your endless inspiration. I learn so much from you. Except, your styles of white on white  and multi-layering are safe from me! I won't be stealing that as a full time crafting challenge. PHEW! x


I used Polar bear from Animal Kingdom, Trees and base shape from Winter Frolic, Snowflake from Accent Essentials, Peachy Keen face on the bear, Embossing folders, Kindy Glitz Crystalina, Kaiser Pearls, and a gazillion foam spacers!

    WOW!!! Now that is some layering Chloe!! Looks fabulous and a round of applause for keeping all that white clean looking! I always have a problem with my whites picking up the dingies off my desk (or off my kids helpful hands :))! Thank goodness for layering! I'm sure your cousin is going to treasure this!!

    oh the wow factor hits again i just love this card but can only begin to imagine how annoying white on white could be (having enough problem these days treading a needle - so may not see myself attempting this techniques) but well done to you! it looks absolutely fantastic I love it and the polar bear is really cure - nice to read that it also bought back some childhood memories for you too :)

    Oh my gosh Chloe... this is STUNNING! I adore white on white so when I saw this, I'm pretty sure my heart stopped. (Thankfully the mega sparkle started it again in pure joy.) All those yummy layers and gorgeous pearls and embossing... this is just a masterpiece. Excellent work, my crafty friend! :o) You are so talented.

    Hugs and blessings! :o)
