Beary Christmas

 Hello!  

I am back from a crafty retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains where I was creating Christmas cards-yep, Christmas in July.  


I was inspired by several challenges, including Color Dare Challenge.  I was wanting to get away from traditional Christmas colors and these colors fit the bill perfectly.  


I am also linking up to Addicted to Stamps and More- Christmas, Just Add Ink-Christmas in July, Just Us Girls-Stencil Week.  


The adorable image is Penny Black and is colored with Copics.  The sentiment is from Creative Worship Stamps and the stencil is from the now closed Stamplorations company.  A few sequins and some Crystal Effects on his nose finish the card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!

    You really brought that sweet bear to life with your wonderful Copic coloring, Lee Ann. The stenciled words made a great background. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
