A Polar Bear Wearing Pink!

Hey friends - happy weekend!! I'm popping in with a second entry for the January Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106 to use pink. I'll share my card from last night's Craft Roulette Episode #302 tomorrow since I have some chores to finish today. 

Here's my polar bear wearing pink:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio cardstock; Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes;
scraps of black and parchment
Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Bundled Bear &
Merry Christmas Moonlight Script (retired
but still available HERE at Frantic Stamper);
Embossing Folder - Honey Bee Snowflakes 3D
Other - Recollections gems; foam tape

A CR member that I mentioned in a previous post, Irene, started a new YouTube Show last Saturday that she plans to do twice a month. You can find Put the CAS(E) in ChAoS! Episode #1 HERE. Irene and friend Chelsea Comer (Inky Stamper) sent each other a card which they opened on air & then CASE'd each other on the spot - very fun!

They invited viewers to take some element of their cards and create our own. I played along and took inspiration from an animal Irene showed popping out of a window. She had a yeti coming out of a torn hole that was made with a Lisa Horton set called Torn Aperture. To mimic it, I embossed a rectangle with a circle window. Once embossed, I tore around the circle making a torn aperture. Adhered it to a white A2 card, backed with a mat layer of pink.

Next I die cut and assembled the bear, then popped him into the window. Added a die cut snowflake with some gems to the snowflake centers to finish the card. Since my Nordic Bear is newly used, I'll add this card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82. I will also play at the January Merry Little Christmas Challenge #66 where Anything Christmas Goes.

I also did a card in blues with a penguin from Sunny Studio's Penguin Party, colored with Copics. I made this one a shaker using Simon Says stamp Starshine dots and a few of Lawn Fawns smaller snowflakes. A Betterpressed sentiment from the stash finished the card.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty weekend!!
