I hemmed and hawed over this one and I'm not even sure why, as the color pairing is SO pretty! I ended up making a Christmas card and although it's very simple, I really like the way it turned out! Take a look...
I love these Nordic Bears from Poppystamps and die cut them from white, Ocean Mist, & Blue Lagoon cardstock (Gina K). I die cut a Snowflakes (PFS) background and layered it over a Blue Lagoon card base, and then added a frame made from PFS's Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die set.
The bears were added with foam tape for a bit of dimension, and then I finished with some clear gems from PFS in the snowflake centers and a bit of black & white twine at the top to balance out the black & white pre-printed sentiment strip (Gina K). Easy peasy and I think those cute bears steal the show!! Should have made more than one, dang it!! Oh well, easy enough to replicate! Hardest part of this card was poking out all the little bits from the snowflake background!

Fun color combo and I love your Nordic bears done with it, Marcia!! Great design for multiples!!
Oh my goodness, those bears are the sweetest! And that background is swoon-worthy! What a perfect way to use aqua and white!!!!! I love it.
Simple to you, Marcia, but I think it's very impactful with the layered bears and that wonderful snowflake coverplate. Great use of the colors.
These bears make an adorable Christmas card, Marcia! I love the aqua peeking out from the snowflakes too! Great colors for Christmas!
Marcia, your polar bears and snowflake background are perfect for this combination. You describe your card as simple; I say simply sensation and festive fabulous.
