Polar bears | Holiday cards

Hello there, crafty friends!

Hope you had wonderful holidays, our Christmas is still ahead but we had wonderful New Year holiday. Very festive, very family-sh so to speak)) I really like these holidays even when they go not according to your plans. I still learn to adjust myself to new conditions when that happens. But still this break was good enough. I don't have brand new cards but I have new that i did before holidays and didn't have a chance to share.

I think I had this Polar Bear Pals stamp set by MFT forever but didn't use for some reason ( i still have some unpacked stamps, can't believe it myself). Even though I'm a colorist and love coloring to pieces I was really glad that these bears could be colored with minimum effort. I only gave dimension to the fur and colored small details using Chameleon pens.

Using my thin black liner I made the scarfs "knitted", really like this effect.

For the background i used the circle I made awhile ago when i experimented with my watercolor paints and die cut it in half with Snowy Drifts dies by Hero Arts for two cards. The sentiment is by So Suzy stamps called Spirit of Christmas . I love the way it's narrow and long.

For the second card I used the same stamp set, they same supplies but added speech bubbles I made myself.

This card is really dimensional, I popped up the iceberg, speech bubbles and then the top bear.

These cards are very small, measuring just 7x10 cm. I'm completely in love with small and cute cards, they shouldn't be wall panel size to be cute :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!
