Season's Greetings

Hello bloggers!  I just couldn't resist these adorable Polar Bears from a previous release!  I started with a piece of watercoloured card from my stash.  I used Lime Sherbert and Turquoise Cascade randomly all over a piece of white card and allowed it to dry thoroughly.  Next I cut the Slimline Decorative Holly Oval Aperture Trio out of white card, leaving a wide border.  I added mounting foam to the back and then attached it to a piece of the watercoloured card.  I used the leftover card and cut a thin frame from it using the Slimline Essential Frames.  I glued it to edge of the aperture piece.  Next I cut the bears from the Polar Bear Playtime, one large and three babies.  I used a soft blue pencil to highlight the bears.  I cut two of the small Winter Trees and glittered them and added them to the upper opening with one of the small bears.  I used the Season's Greeting sentiment in the centre with another bear.  I added the large bear with the baby riding on the back in the lower section.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5"  x  9 1/2"  in size. 

I will be doing a demo on Jamie Rodger's show on Create and Craft today at 6pm UK time (1pm EST in the US)  Hope you can join us there!   All for now. Sue x

  1. Oh Sue this is adorable. I have the collection of polar bears with the sledge etc, honestly, if any of our blog friends haven't invested in this or the cute penguins collection then they are so cute so versatile and everyone loves a card with these beautiful dies they really are worth having. I really really wish you could give us more 'cute style' festive dies, the animal collection help us make the cutest of stories for the younger family members or those that don't want to grow up lol. Sending love to you all this Wednesday xxx
