I'm having some fun with teddy bears this Christmas! And what better way to do that than to make a card with them in traditional Christmas colours and trimmings! I have one of the characters from the new Teddy Bear Sweet clear stamp set, carrying his big load of candy canes; I imagine he's heading to the tree to hang them all on the branches!
I coloured the teddy with a layer of Copics first. Then, I went over most of it with coloured pencil to really bring it out. I masked it off with the new NoFuss Masks from Whimsy - oh my, that makes masking so quick and easy, no fussy cutting your own mask out! I highly recommend because not only are they quick and easy, they also protect really well, and, they are re-useable if you take them off gently enough! You can get about three uses out of each mask! And there's no sticky residue left on your card. It's all a win-win!
Anyhoo, once it was masked, I sponged and blended a couple of Oxide inks - Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio, with a tiny dab of Rustic Wilderness for a shadow on the ground under his body. Then I used the super cute Fadoodle Holly set by Faye, (LOVE you Faye, waving!!) to decorate the corners and border. I stamped the holly, coloured it, fussy cut it and glued it down in the corners.
The striped paper came from the digital pack shown below called "I Dream In Christmas"- I had it on my computer screen in my Pages program, and was able to stretch it out to fill the page. I wanted to do that so I could make the angled layer that you see with the stripes going at a 45 degree angle (so it had to fill the whole page). I printed it off and trimmed it to fit my card panel.
