Winter Birthday Polar Bear

Hi all,

Happy New Year!  I hope your new year is starting out the way you want it to.  Ours is starting with a big snow storm that is heading this way.  January is also full of birthdays in our extended family so I thought I’d stock up on some winter birthday wishes card, like this one.

The card stock is from Gina K. Designs.  I rounded the corners a bit for some interest using my Corner Chomper.  The patterned paper comes from My Minds Eye Merry 6×6 pad collection.

For the focal image I used Lawn Fawn’s Critters in the Snow and Hats Off To You.  I stamped the little polar bear with Memento Tuxedo black and shaded him in a bit of copic markers.  Did I tell you my hubby got me a new set of copic markers for Christmas?  Yay me!.  I paper pieced the hat from the same patterned paper.  The sentiment comes from the Bake Me a Cake Lawn Fawn set as well.  I just love how cute and festive he looks.

I hope you enjoyed my first project of 2014!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
