Candy Cane Bear Sweater

I have made another Christmas card to add to this years tiny, but growing stash :)

I've used a stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Candy Cane Bear.

He's great because he's so quick to colour and super cute too!

 

I coloured the image with Copics and used the Pinkfresh Studio's Stitched Scallop Square die to frame it.

For the background I used an embossing folder by Sizzix called Nordic Sweater and distressed the top of the card so that the pattern was more prominent.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges :

Crafty Calendar Challenge - anything goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - emboss it

Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge - anything goes

Christmas Kickstart Challenge - never in a nativity

Thanks so much for dropping by today :)

Candy Cane Bear

 

Hi :) I have another Christmas card for Mo's Digital Pencil to share today.

If you're like me and have a lot of Christmas cards to get made and not much time to do it, then this stamp is the one for you :)

This is Candy Cane Bear he is super cute but also super quick and easy to colour.

 

I decided to print the bear and the sentiment out separately. I used a large tag die to cut around the stamp. Then I cut out the "Hope your holidays are" part and mounted it on black card and used a "sweet" die to finish off the sentiment.  

At the top of the tag I used some gorgeous Making Merry washi tape by Simple Stories. It's something I bought recently and I fought my urge to buy the matching paper.  But using the tape really made me wish I hadn't paid attention to my logical side when I was buying.  I really wanted new Xmas paper and it is beautiful, but I didn't "need" more. So I was trying to be good :(  Anyway it did go pretty nicely with this old paper from Little Yellow Bicycle that I had in my stash.

Copics used :

W 1

R 000, 22, 24, 27, 59

B 0000

Thanks for dropping by today :)
