A Beary Cozy Throwdown

This week, I decided to combine challenges to make a sweet Valentine! I used the.Color Throwdown’s navy, light blue, pink, and white palette, along with a sketch at Freshly Made Sketches by Jen Mitchell...

The “Big Bear” stamp set from Reverse Confetti paired with the Ink Blot Shop’s “Cable Knit Background” were perfect for creating a snuggly kind of Valentine!

I repeat stamped the background with my Misti using three colors of blue ink, then cut it down with a stitched rectangle die.

I colored the Big Bear with Zig Clean Color markers and a wet paintbrush on Bristol Smooth cardstock. Added some pink Nuvo drop accents and some die cut hearts to the background. I love how the bear’s arms are made to hold items from the stamp set!

Thanks so much for visiting and always leaving the beary nicest comments! ❤️ 😊

25 Days of Christmas Tags- Day 9

Playing some catch up for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, going way back to Day 9 with Pink & Main. I loved Annette Allan's sweet, funny little animals all dressed for winter...especially the bear!

I just got Reverse Confetti's "Big Bear" set, and thought he would be perfect!

I colored with Zig Clean Color and Tombow markers and a wet paintbrush. Added the hat from Reverse Confetti's "S'more Love" set. I used the Ink Blot Shop's "Cable Knit Background" and shaded it with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Crushed Olive Distress Oxide inks. The snowflakes are heat embossed over the top with white powder and the sentiment is from PTI's "Warm & Fuzzy." I love how this turned out, thanks for the inspiration, Annette!
