MFT Sketch Challenge - Joy

I had some fun with this week's MFT sketch.  Here's my take:
This is one talented bear.  The "Joy" sentiment was heat embossed in white and then extended with a VersaMark pen and more heat embossing to look like he wrote it on the ice with his skate.  The background was a scrap of Brusho water colored paper that I cut using MFT's Horizontal Snow Drifts to give the background a little movement.  I glitzed up the scarf and background with Wink of Stella and added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the skates and as drop accents on the card.  Do you see where I touched the skate before it was dry?  Every time, am I right?

 Here's the sketch from MFT Challenge 359:

  9. WOW! Nothing, absolutely nothing, beats the vibrancy of those Copics and Brushos! I LOVE the deep blue and plum with all that textured white, Kara! This is jaw-dropping! Having him write the sediment with his skate...so genius! And so is the movement of the hills and the real-looking fur on the Cool Dude! Hugs, Darnell
