My 2 retail shops have been so busy I have not had time to think about Christmas or winter cards. I now have a little break from that and with the relief from the searing summer heat, my thoughts turned to Christmas. When I saw the challenge from The Paper Players CAS and Bears I had to break out this NBUS die cut for a cute Christmas card.
The paper is from a craft resale shop so unlabeled. It reminds me of the colors of the Northern Lights. So it had to be a polar bear card. I found the polar bear dies on Amazon. It comes with several poses of bears along with skates, skis and the scarf. The skates are die cut from metallic silver although one looks black and one looks green. Shiny metal just does not photo well. The scarf is a scrap of lavender and white stripe highlighted with a Highland Heather blend pen. I added a fussy cut Santa hat from clip art. The sentiment is an old retired Stampin' Up! one.
OMG, I love this so much! You're right about the background paper - it really does suggest northern lights. This is a great start to your Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteYour skating polar bear is so cute, and that background paper is fun with the geometric shapes in the colors of the Northern Lights, love it. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteThe skating bear is a great die cut. At first, I thought you'd deliberately mismatched his skates (and I thought that was cute) until I read about the troubles with photographing metallics - it's a real problem, isn't it? Thanks for joining in with our Clean and Simple Challenge this week at The Paper Players.
