Anyway, enough of me waffling on! My card today is for our Christmas Challenge at
Sweet Stampin'- this challenge will run for 4 weeks and anything Christmas themed is welcome- as long as there is some stamping include.
I gave in to temptation and bought this fabulous pre- loved stamp from ebay. It's a fairly large wood backed stamp so I kept the design simple. Stamped and masked the bear and used distress inks and splashes of water to create the background, coloured up the image and added the stamped embossed sentiment and a few die cut snowflakes. I'll definitely be using this stamp again, he's so cute!
Lots to see over at Sweet Stampin' so do hop over for some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the DT.
Thanks for visiting,
have a great weekend whatever you are doing
Chris

Your card is lovely Chris, that image is lovely and fabulous colouring really brings it to life.

I absolutely love your card with this Whipper Snapper polar bear! He's a favorite in my stash and I've used him a lot. You did a really beautiful job with your coloring and card design. It's a treat to see him in our Christmas animals challenge at Double D!
Love your coloring and the wintery background, adorable Christmas card! Happy Holidays!
OMG what a great polar bear Chris!!
Love how you colored him.

Stress is definitely at home during December for sure. We are still waiting on a few finishing pieces to be done to the roof, yes I said roof!! I have cursed that boy in and out of hell for sure!! Anyway glad you are feeling less stressed and the doors are hung. I love this gorgeous card. I actually thought it was pre printed which goes to prove my theory that you are a magical person when it comes to colouring in!!!
That image is fantastic brilliantly coloured a superb festive make
hugs
