Have a Beary Good Birthday

Hello friends.  Just a quick post today with a fun little card I made for my little brother's birthday tomorrow using MFT's Polar Pals set. 


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!

What 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!!
