Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I've very much enjoyed making Christmas cards this year, especially after inking-up the gorgeous MFT Polar Bear Pals set. What a lovely set this is to use, but I can't help but wonder why there are no festive sentiments included.


I got busy with some distress inking and then stamped the sentiment (oldie from Stampendous, I think) and the polar bear using my Misti. I stamped, coloured, cut and stuck a second bear into place on the bacground. The cards look very cute in real life.

I'm linking my card to the current CASology Challenge: North.


and to Marina's The Librarian's Challenge, inspired by perennial Christmas favourite The Snowman. The bear's smile really reminds me of the Snowman's smile and I used the layout of the cover as my inspiration for the layout of the card..


I'm also linking to The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge #66 - Cold and Frosty because that cute little Polar Bear must be feeling very cold and frosty indeed.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!


Have a happy Sunday, peeps!

Your card is adorable, Jo, and beautifully executed! Your sponged sky is sensational and I love his shadow and his stylish scarf!! It's a winner in my book! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell

Lovely card - the colourful scarf is beautiful. I find you get a lot of sentiments in these clear sets but few of them are very useful. I often find myself struggling to find a nice Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday amongst them.

Oh yes and ......Thanks for joining The Library.
