Noel Bear

 

Say hello to "Noel Bear".

Today's card I have made for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com.  Amy is our hostess for this challenge and she has picked Ornamentally You. My inspiration came from this ornament.

For the background I used a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Flake Meltdown along with Tumbled Glass Oxide Ink.

The stencil background is not a solid snowflake design, but it easily matches up to allow you to cover the entire card front of 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

I die cut the "Immense Noel" die twice with 110lb cardstock, which is why I cut two and not three. I glued them together using Art Glitter glue then applied Golden Glitz Delicata pigment ink, direct to paper.

Using a gold glitter pen I highlighted areas on the die, which are darker than the pigment ink is. I then attached the Noel die using Scrapbook.com foam strips.

I coloured the Penny Black Bear Hearts Be Light using Copic markers, the Bear is E30, E31, E33, and E35; Santa Hat and sled board R29; rails on sleight C1, C5 and C8; Top Present G82, G43 and R11; Bottom Presents R85, R81; Tags E40 and C1 on the fur of the hat.

To attach the bear I used foam rounds and added Nuvo Silver Crystal drops under the sleigh as well in the white space above the rail.

I wish the Nuvo glitter drops showed better, they are so pretty.

Thanks so much for visiting.

See you next time.
