Hello again! It's Word Week at Just Us Girls, with the prompt word being "winter". If it doesn't feel wintry where you are yet, you know it's right around the corner. Brrrr!
The character I used for this challenge has been in my die stash (with her reindeer and fox companions) for a good long while and it's been seven years since I've used the set. It was about time, don't you think?
In order to make her all the more wintry I paired her with Penny Black's Crystal Frames die set which includes the frame and background pieces and the sentiment. The pink snowflakes are an oldie Impression Obsession Small Snowflake Set. I inked the sentiment with a brush, and Copic colored whatever other small parts needed it. All very simple and fun!
Do pop over to Just us Girls to see the awesome team samples, and then we'd love to have you play along with your own wintry creation. It'll be fun!
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Stamps: Only inside sentiment Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White 90 & 110 lb, Stampin' Up Pool Party sandable cardstock, scrap designer paper Ink: SU Rose Red Coloring: Copics and ink blending with brush Dies: Lisa Horton Creative Expressions Stitched Christmas Characters, Penny Black Crystal Frames, Impression Obsession Small Snowflake Set
You've created a delightful winter scene with your stylish polar bear surrounded by pretty snowflakes. Eye-catching and festive. So glad you brought her out for a play; perhaps the reindeer and fox will be next. Again, wonderful to have you as our inspiring Guest Designer.

Oh wow, what a cutie! Love the pink snowflakes and that lovely coverplate.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely time you used that die again, and I am glad you did. She looks great. I love the matching hat and scarf. You have captured the cool of winter brilliantly too. It is due to start getting cold here next week. I fear it will be a real shock to the system xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the bear is back again! She looks regal and dignified and so pretty surrounded by the gorgeous frame and pink snowflakes. This card is delightful to look at and so fun!
ReplyDeleteHe's an adorable little bear, I love his wooly had and scarf xx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE every single thing about this card, one of the cutest winter cards I have seen! Speaking of winter we had our 2nd large snowfall this year with 10", Mack liked it, me not so much, but with warmer temps it's already pretty much gone, to be 63 tomorrow, crazy weather!! This card belongs on our The Neglected Stuff challenge!!
ReplyDeleteSeven years?? I can't say much though as I'm sure I have stamps that have sat unused for longer than that!! But your bear is just so darn CUTE Leslie and he looks fabulous framed out in that PB snowflake frame! Love those itty bitty IO snowflakes too...I use mine all the time (they're just the perfect size to fill in small spaces!). Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute. Love the color pops and the adorable polar bear.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you've used for your Winter bear, Leslie! The snowflake frame and falling snow are so pretty and I'm loving the way you've colored the die cut sentiment! Super sweet, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, you know I have 'a thing' for bears - this one looks so cute with his hat and scarf - bundled up and enjoying the weather, I'm sure!
ReplyDelete=]
Oh my goodness is he ever too cute, yes it has been too long not getting used :) Love the pattern for his hat and scarf, that frame is so cool, every time you use it makes me want it, and I am trying to resist :). like the inking of the sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteYour polar bear is so cute decked out in her matching scarf and hat! Love the colors and the blending on your sentiment, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is just adorable, Leslie. What is it about bears that draw us in? The added snowflakes in the frame and floating about give it a real wintry feel.
ReplyDeleteTotally cute and adorable Leslie. Super layout.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable Leslie, love the paperpieced scarf & hat. Wonderful frame!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet winter card Leslie. xx
