Peaceful Polar Bear

I'm having a blast playing with the Polar Bear Studio images and dies.  This card uses some items in unexpected ways.  I thought the Lisette Buckle die looked like a snowflake, so that's how I used it.  I thought the background stamp could be used to add pattern to the paper, so that's what I did.  I had a rough idea in my head for this card -  had a sketch, knew I wanted to use the Fredward bear stamp and some new ribbon that could be used for a card sentiment.  My son called this an ad lib card because it just evolved as I kept adding items.  Hope you like it! 

Here's how it's made:

Stamp Fredward Bear on white card stock with Copic friendly black ink.  Color in the scarf and cut out image.  (There is a matching die for this image, I just don't have it yet.)  Stamp Birch Background on Kraft cardstock with Encore blue ink and heat set.  Die cut three Lisette Buckles from white card stock and color with Distress Weathered Wood stain (blot with paper towel).  Punch two scalloped circles, add glue and chunky glitter.  Cut piece of ribbon and "v" ends.  Corner round top of kraft rectangle.  Assemble card using pop dots under Kraft layer and under polar bear. 

Ingredients:  D1833 Fredward Bear; C1825 Birch Background; 98219 Lisette Buckle; Silver Soiree metallic note card; Memory Box Kraft card stock; B45 Copic marker; Encore Blue ink; Distress Weathered Wood Stain; American Crafts Peace on Earth ribbon; scalloped circle punch; coarse chrystal glitter.   

Thanks so much to my lovely ladies who were students at my class yesterday.  I had fun teaching all of you.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
