Candy Cane Bear



It is the final day of the 10th Annual Christmas in July challenge at Catch The Bug.

Today we have been given a colour challenge.


I have used Candy Cane Bear from Bugaboo Stamps. I could see the colours of the candy cane in the swatch and went from there.

I have coloured with Promarkers and added a white gel pen for eyes and stripes.



I have followed the latest sketch 378 at Atlantic Hearts for the layout. I trimmed the image and added a mat of black card.


The card front has been covered with a spotty paper. I found a striped paper with candy canes and reindeers on it and used 3 of the stripes from it to follow the sketch. Finally I added a sentiment that has been rescued from the recycling bin from a shop bought card.

The style of this card is very Clean & Simple for me. I fought the temptation to add something in the top left hand corner......it keeps calling to me LOL

I was determined to follow all the challenges this week at Catch the Bug and apart from yesterday all cards have been posted the day the challenge went up. I have thoroughly enjoyed these challenges and have 7 more Christmas cards to add to my growing pile.

Thanks to Jodie for the free images this week and to the Bugaboo Design Team for all the amazing inspiration this week.
