Beary Cute!

***QUICK NOTE: I AM NOW ON INSTAGRAM!

WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU OVER THERE!**

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I hope you have gotten all or most of your tasks done and are able to relax and enjoy this day with family and friends!

So have you heard about the three new "Flakey Friends" stamp sets from Honey Bee Stamps that are available for pre-order?!?! After having a chance to play with them this week, I'm telling you, they are MUST-HAVES! Just check out how cute this guy is...

I created a square card measuring 4.5" x 4.5". The red panel has snowflakes and bear paw prints heat embossed with white embossing powder. The bear, scarf, and gifts are stamped on watercolor paper and colored using Tim Holtz distress markers and a water brush. The hat is paper pierced and embellished with some Stickles. The sentiment was put together using several stamps, presents attached to the end of the tag, and popped up with foam tape (the circle is too). SUCH a fun card to make! I created this with intent to give to one of my toddler boys for Christmas. Gotta make another one 'cause I have twins!! :D

I'm entering this in one of my favorite challenges....RIC#98 Gucci. I have this awesome green and white striped paper that I thought was PERFECT to use for the bear's hat...just like the model is wearing! I had to incorporate the white against the red background, and I think it was a good choice! Love how this card turned out!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a WONDERFUL holiday!!!
