Hi everyone,
We're already halfway through June, and I'm here with a reminder card for the CAS Christmas June Challenge. The challenge for this month is...
And here's my card with my favorite bear:
[How I made the card]
1. Heat-embossed the wreath and the bear in dark brown.
2. Colored the wreath with Zig brush markers.
3. Gold heat-embossed the sentiment on the card base, and sponged the card base in light blue.
4. Popped up the wreath and the bear on the card base.
5. Added a shadow to ground the bear with a Zig marker, and highlighted the berries with a white gel pen.
You might have noticed that the bear looks like he is wearing a poinsettia Hawaiian skirt. Doesn't he look like he's Hula dancing behind the wreath? 😁
You have until June 24th. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!

Adorable hula dancing polar bear and beautifully watercolored wreath, Hideko:-) Love your soft blue sponged grounding for your bear with the blue shadow that looks like ice to me:-) You got an amazing close up photo of all your dimension and pretty watercoloring. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he's sporting a Hawaiian skirt and swaying to Mele Kalikimaka! Just love the bit of whimsy your favorite bear adds to your gorgeous wreath, Hideko!
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome and clever design Hideko! Your bear certainly does look like he is dancing and have a lot of fun doing it, too!! Another very fun wreath!
ReplyDeleteAwww ... the bear looks so happy peaking through the pretty wreath, Hideko. Fun card! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the whimsy your favorite bear adds to your beautiful wreath! Just wonderful, Hideko!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the bear is looking through the wreath! Beautiful colouring on the wreath!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this Hideko! with the sweet bear waving 'hi, Merry Christmas!" from behind your pretty wreath!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this sweet bear waving from the wreath, Hideko! I'll have to see if my bear will fit in a wreath like this. It won't have these gorgeous poinsettias though. Now that you mention it, that does look a little like a floral skirt! Even more fun, my friend!
ReplyDeleteyour little bear in the wreath is adorable and so beautifully coloured ♥
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww...I'm loving your sweet hula dancing bear Hideko! He certainly is dressed to the nines with his Poinsettia shirt/skirt, and the FABULOUS wreath makes it just that much more festive! Wonderful card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable wreath and sweet bear doing the hula. Haha. Awesome card, Hideko.
ReplyDeleteOh so adorable with your favourite bear peeking through! Beautifully stamped and coloured. The light blue sponging was a great touch and added subtle depth.
