*SNOW* 3D Lighted Box Ornament

Good morning friends!  I thought I'd share this snow themed 3D lighted box ornament that I made last fall.  
 
 
Every year for Thanksgiving, I gift a Christmas ornament to each of my kids, their spouses and my grandchildren.  For 2025, I made them each a lighted box ornament.
 
My son's ornament features this darling polar bear with his cub, representing my son and my sweet "P".  The polar bears are from Sue Wilson Designs.  I added design details using Copic markers.
 
 
 The "SNOW" die is from Papertrey Ink.  I added some Silk Microfine Glitter to the snowflake for added sparkle, finished off with a wintery blue pearl center.
 
The sentiment banner is from Memory Box.  Everyone enjoyed getting these handmade ornaments last year.  It was a big task, but I was up for the challenge.

I'll be adding this project into the following challenges:
 
Cut It Up Challenge ~ Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh I am sure they totally loved them, especially when they are going along with their theme of what they are going through or represents them, I love this little bear duo and the details you have added to them, such a great idea!
