Blowing Snowflake Kisses

As it was Monday yesterday I had my crafty girlies over for a play.  This week we were doing Forever Friends Christmas cards, (or Bumhead Bears as my Mum calls them!)  I chose this cute stamp to play with, its been coloured with my usual Promarkers and Flexmarkers and I added some Glamour Dust for the snow he's blowing.
The papers are all from the Forever Friends Retro Christmas range.
The flowers were made with Nellie Snellen punches and the foliage with  a Woodware punch.
Ribbon, bow, gems and dew drops and it's finished.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Sweet Sketch - #160 - sketch

Crafty Cardmakers - #71 - handmade flowers
Lollipop Crafts - #84 - Christmas
The Paper Players - #102 - Christmas
The Squirrel and the Fox - #21 - Christmas

Here are a few other Forever Friends Christmas cards I made with the Timeless Collection.  I picked up a pack of this lovely range in my local craft shop which contained loads of decoupage, papers, toppers, ribbon and lots more for the bargain price of £15 which is great considering the papers cost a tenner on their own.  The colours are mainly monochrome with the addition of red and green and the papers are pearlised in lovely muted shades.

      Hi Jeannie, I used Caramel, Mustard, Pastel Yellow and Vanilla in that order with Vanilla and Ivory for the muzzle and Cocktail Pink for the inside of the ears and the cheeks. I'm planning a tutorial for colouring FF bears soon so watch this space! xx
