Hello stamping friends!!
A quick update that yesterday my Father in Law was doing as well as can be after a long surgery. They removed the incubation tube and he is breathing on his own. The prayer request continues to be: No infection or complication, healing of the resection of his bowels, and for the chemo to do it's job.
Today is a new ABC Christmas Challenge: B is for Bears plus Bunting, Banners, Brads, Buttons, Bows, or Blooms!
Whew! That's a lot! Just make sure your card or project: is a Christmas Project, has a bear, and has at least one of the other options (bunting/banners, brads, buttons, bows, or blooms).
My store Stamp and Create is one of the sponsors this challenge.
We also have a wonderful prize for Bugaboo as well! Make sure to check out the challenge post for details.
Here is my card...
I used the adorable Milton in Hat from Wild Rose Studio. The papers are Winter Park from Echo Park along with Magnolia DooHickey Spruce Die, Whimsy Pennant Banner die, Flowersoft (for snow) and pearls.
I'm sorry for the lighting, It was later in the day when I took these and it's wasn't too bright out.
I added the flowersoft to his hat and spruce die...
The image was stamped in Stampin' Up Basic Brown and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os. I added some texture (although it looks more like stripes than fur, but I'm learning)...
Now it's your turn! Let's see your take on the Bears plus bbbbb challenge!
This card is also for the following challenges:
Clear it out: use up old Holiday stash - Baby it's Cold
Lexi's Creations: Fancy Folds
