Since my creativity jumped over Autumn and straight to Winter, I chose Pink Fresh Studio's polar bears for my critters as shown below:
My first card is a birthday, shaped shaker using Reversed Confetti's patterned paper and Little B's nested heart dies.
Stamped and embossed snowflakes and a Stamp Market sentiment on smoky lavender CS. Reinforced the frame with another diecut for stability. Applied sticky foam tape the the back of the heart. Filled the shaker with sequins, beads and gems in appropriate colors and adhered the lavendar CS. Attached my watercolored bears over the window.
The second card is a shimmery fest (not caught on camera) of teal.
This time the bears are stamped in grey and Copic colored. Saturated a panel in a teal Altenew watercolor and Pixie Dust from Ink On 3. Stamped the, now dried panel, with Waffleflower snowflakes and embossed with WOW! sparkling white powder. Diecut the "Merry" in white glitter CS and dark blue fun foam. Stacked them with the glitter CS on top. Attached it to the watercolored panel. Embossed a vellum strip for the sub-sentiment and wrapped it around the card horizontally. Strategically adhered the polar bears to the card.
Stunning cards! I love the mix of colours and patterns in the first and the fun layout of the second:)
ReplyDeleteConi, your Christmas critters are Merry, indeed! Love the lavender, and teal - two festive colors we don't think about often enough... but should! OH that MERRY is gorgeous... xx

Must have left a comment on IG, since I do not see any one here, but this is so pretty, it definitely deserves two comments! I have not checked out the gallery yet, but I can see a winner here! That is such an awesome pair! That wonderful shaker with the bears perfectly positioned - not sure what could possibly be better! BTW - my recent Christmas cards don't qualify as they have to be for different occasions....
ReplyDeleteThese are both shimmery delights, Coni! I love the coloring and the pp you used on your adorable birthday shaker card! And schparkly teal steals my heart every time, so I'm swooning over your Christmas design! Love the strategically placed bears! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #20! Enjoy this cooler weather!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteTwo very wonderful cards, Coni! I love the heart shaped card and shaker with those little bears nestled down on the bottom. Reading all that went into that second card, I KNOW it sparkles, even if it doesn't show up. It's gorgeous, and I love the little bears you chose. Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteGosh, these little polar bears are adorable, Coni ... whether set against that cool shaker on the sweet heart shaped birthday card ... or cavorting around that fabulous scripty merry on your snowy, shimmery Christmas card! A delicious duo! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
