Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #108

Hello friends. Trying to behave and keep up with my Christmas card making, so Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge  to the rescue!!  A beautiful mood board featuring skating and sledding for inspiration this time around...


I have an older PB sledding bear that worked perfect for this challenge...


After coloring up the bear (heart be light) with Copics and then fussy cutting him out, I set him aside while I stamped the background which is also a PB stamp (traverse). I used Smokey Slate ink (SU!) to keep the background a little more muted and then lightly added glitter to the trees and snowy areas.


I added foam dots to the back of my sledding bear to lift him away from the background a bit, and then simply finished with a sentiment from PTI (Think Big Favorites: #20) in Real Red (SU!) ink. 

Lots of inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along!  This challenge is open till Thursday, April 2nd @ 8:00PM.

Also going to add this card to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is Out of the Woods...I think a bear and the woods definitely go together here!!


  

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

He's adorable! I love that you left the background only to sparkle but let Mr Bear be the star! The pops of red are wonderful against the gray background

That bear is adorable, Marcia, and I love that you left him the star of the card by muting the wonderful background.

Oh wow, this is absolutely fabulous. I love that the bear and sled grab you and never let go. The background image is so serene and I bet is lovely with its sparkles IRL.

What a fun bear and his pops of red and the red sentiment compliment the icy trees in the background!

Your sledding bear is adorable Marcia and I love how you stamped the background in gray. It looks great with that sledding bear and the red sentiment.

Ohhh, I felt instant joy the moment I saw your card! Your bear is adorable and I love the fabulous background! It's hard to believe the background is a stamp. It's perfect! A really nice shade of gray, too. You've made such a cute card for the two challenges!

This bear is sleighing it, cruising into Christmas like a pro with gifts in tow. That soft snowy scene is pure magic and the pop of red is spot on. Proper festive joy in a card. Thank you for joining the Christmas Kickstart challenge.
