{Bear}ing Gifts

Hello my crafty friends,
Here is a polar {Bear}ing gifts. LOL. Hop on over to {Pin}spirational Challenges to see this and other fabulous images the design team has created. Our sponsors this month are Delicious Doodles and Spyders Other Corner. Join the challenge for a chance to win some fabulous images.   I used Diamond Stickles for his hat and scarf. It looks much better in person. I used the Darice snowflake embossing folder for the base of the card and the mat is from the dark mats paper pack by Colorbox.   I had been looking for the Martha Stewart pine punch for over a year and at a good price. I finally got lucky and found it at JoAnn's Fabric's a couple of months ago and was able to use a 40% off coupon. I just looked it up online to show you a picture and it's on sale again at JoAnn's Fabric  I used olive color paper to punch out the leaf and used red sticker dots to add as berries.  Since the bear is on a white background I used Spectrum Noir marker 1G1 to add depth around him to make him pop. Other Spectrum Noir markers used are DR6, TN1, LG2,PP1,TB5. For added embellishments the ornaments, bow and sentiment I used Scrapbook Max 2 digital scrapbook program. It is a user friendly scrapbook program and you can use digital clip art that you can find for free or purchase online.  They have kits that you can purchase and a forum where members can share their work. They also offer a FREE TRIAL. I'm not associated with them in selling or promoting their program. I love how it helps me be more creative without having to store all the extra embellishments. LOL. Thanks for stopping by today and leaving your kind comments. I love reading them. Have a great day.
