Merry Wishes Bear

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by a number of challenges (see below).  My card features an adorable digital image from Gerda Steiner Designs called Bear Mug. This image is now available as a clear stamp called Warm Fuzzies.  I coloured the image with markers and added some accents with a white paint marker, fussy-cut, and popped up on foam tape.  

Gerda is having a fun Egg Hunt and she has provided the cute Easter Egg watermark you see on my card, so of course I wanted to join in the fun!   Check here for all the details and join me!

Poppystamps is having a Pretty Papers Challenge PSC#90 so I chose glitter paper, which is from the Memory Box Delicate Pastel Glitter 6x6 Shimmering Cardstock Pad.  I used the following dies:  Poppystamps Crystal Snowflake Corner, Poppystamps Merry Ornament, and Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes.  I trimmed the ornament from the word Merry for this card.  The patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall, and I added some punched snowflakes (Recollections).  The Merry Wishes sentiment is self-made in Microsoft Word.


Here are the other 6 challenges that inspired me, for a total of 8:

ABC Christmas G for Glitter UE


Christmas Kickstart 60 Snowflakes 3/3 (snowflake sequins, snowflake embossing) C8

Double Trouble 105 Bring on the Green (Thing1 and Thing3) 3/4

Gerda Steiner Share Your Designs March AG UE
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Use Your Favourite Things (cute critters, especially cute critters with cups, winter, glitter, snowflakes) 1/5

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a peaceful day!

This is such an adorable festive card, Kitty! Love the plaid background and how you have echoed it on the scarf, and, of course, the teal colour is just gorgeous! Such a sweet bear too and I love the penwork on his cheeks.
