I admit that I have fallen head over heels in LOVE with the facial expressions on ALL the bears in the Polar Pals set...they just crack me up and I think my brother will get a kick out of them too! I embossed the bear in black and then lightly outlined him with a C1 Copic, and colored in his scarf with a B95 and YG05 Copics. After fussy cutting him out I pop dotted him to a blended background using Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord, Salty Ocean, & Faded Jeans distress inks (yes, I'm kinda hooked on this color combo for backgrounds!). I also embossed in black the mountains from PTI's Warmest Wishes stamp set before pop dotting my polar bear image. The sentiment from the Polar Pals set was stamped on a banner from PTI's Tag Sale: Quilted Set. I know this card is going to my brother, but I just couldn't help myself adding the sequins...hopefully he won't notice!! :0)
That's it, that's all folks for this week! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We have our first family Christmas get together and they're predicting lots more snow...sure hoping they're a little bit wrong so traveling's not an issue!! I love getting together with my mom's side of the family...I have GREAT cousins that I really enjoy getting a chance to get caught up with! Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!
Marcia, I love everything on this card...your background is fabulous, the trees behind the bear and of course that cute bear...! Awesome birthday card for the winter months! Have a great weekend!! We did get snow and the kiddos had a snow day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, cute card! The background is fabulous and I can see why you like using it so much. Those bears are so darling too. The sequins are perfect, no matter if it is a masculine card. They look like snow!! Have fun at your family gathering this weekend!!
