Hi! Just having fun with a favorite oldie Whipper Snapper today. This guy is called Bear Delivery. I've had him for years, used him many times, and he is still available here. I stamped him in Versamark and embossed in black, then watercolored and cut out and placed him on the background.
The swirly arch behind him is a large snowflake circle frame die cut which was sent by a friend. Too big for the kind of card I make for Christmas, so I cut it in half and used it like a stylized snow mound. The card base was embossed with a Snowfall folder, then the sentiment and some extra snowflakes added.
After the parts were adhered to the card I started with the dressing up -- Wink of Stella on the Joy and snowflakes, Stickles Stardust glitter glue on the starry gift bag, pearl pen and microfine glitter on his hat trim. I colored the snowflakes with a B00 Copic so they would stand out from the background.
I always have such fun with this guy! Chances are I'll send him to someone I've sent him to before, but each time the card is different. He's always sent with a grin and a giggle and I hope he's received that way, too. Today the grins are for you! Take care!
Stamps: Whipper Snapper Bear Delivery Paper: Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor, Neenah Classic Cress Super Smooth Solar White 110 lb, other white for snowy mound, scrap red Ink: Versamark Coloring: Watercolor with Tombow markers, Copic B00 for snowflakes, grays for grounding Dies: Precious Marieke Snowflake Circle, Cottage Cutz Joy, Impression Obsession Small Snowflake Set Other: Black embossing powder, Sizzix Snowfall embossing folder, Wink of Stella, Viva Decor Ice White Pearlen Pen, Elizabeth Craft Warm Diamond microfine glitter, Stickles Stardust glitter glue, foam mounting tape

ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness! I’m always happy visiting your blog with the unique details, like both embossing techniques here, and that fun flourishy snow drift! Love it, Leslie! xx
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous! He is so cute and I love all the different textures you added to it especially the snow mound. So creative! I hope you don't mind me saying that all the time, but it's so true. Always something new and different to see on your cards.

Now isn't this a happy little fellow! I love the snowflake embossing folders. I think they are so pretty! He definitely has his hands full of goodies. Great imagine to color!
ReplyDeleteA grin and giggle is the perfect description for this fun guy, Leslie! I love how you used the filigree circle for a snowbank!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. Whippersnapper has another stamp that I'd love to own called Santa face. This bear's face is so cute. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteLovely card and great stamp Leslie plus love the colours. xx
ReplyDeleteHe is such a cute and fun stamp, I can see why you pick him over and over to use. Love the look of water coloring especially on him. Great idea cutting that piece in half, love how you did the snowy background too, pretty shine and sparkle you brought to the whole card, Just brings a big smile to my face :)
ReplyDeleteThis guy is so adorable! You colored him so perfectly. You have such a talent for coloring and making it all seem so simple which it is not! Eye Candy!
ReplyDeleteOMG he's adorable, no wonder you keep coming out at Christmas ♥
ReplyDeleteHe is just the cutest and I love how you have dressed him and the card up. The subtle texture on your background is perfect. I just can't get over that silly grin of his. I think I need him in my collection. If you don't use the Santa hat he could be a birthday bear.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable and beautifully colored! Sounds like it has TONS of sparkle! I'm sure the same person would enjoy seeing him year after year. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow He`s adorable Leslie! fabulous layout and love the colours.
ReplyDeleteHugs Pam x
I can see you your love this stamp. What fun he is and what great opportunity he gives for adding some bling. Love how you have added texture and interest with that arch behind him xx
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest character stamps, Leslie! And you color them so wonderfully, making them dimensional.
ReplyDeleteOh he's wonderful! I just love the interest your created around him too...Thanks so much for all your lovely comments Leslie... I really appreciate them. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope the fur babies are keeping well.
ReplyDeleteImagine having this whippersnapper showing up at your front door!!! Super cute! I have favorite images I use every holiday too, like visiting with an old friend! ♥ Sue Kment
