Today's theme was to use an Animal

Here is my project....

My project was to use the cuttlebug:

I used Art Philosphy and Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge for this card.  Art Philosphy was used for the card base and the frame that the cute little bear is sitting on.  These were cut at 5.4".  The Polar Bear head was cut at 2.2".The shimmer card stock used for the card base and the bear head is Coordinations Gemstones.  The printed paper is from DCWV Winter Wonderland stack.  There is lots of glimmer and shine which you all know is hard to photograph.

You can see the glimmer and shine better in this picture.  The printed cardstock also has glitter.  I embossed the card base with the Cuttlebug snowflake folder.  I highlighted the bears face with my Stampin Up markers, some ink, chalk and used the Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Parts stamp for his eyes.  He is also mounted on an Action Wobble.  I finished the card off by twisting some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and Praire Bird Boutique, as well as some tinsel string also from Praire Bird Boutique.  I added a tag punched and stamped from the Tag set from Stampin Up.

Happy Crafting,

Here is my project....

My project was to use the cuttlebug:

I used Simply Charmed for hat and mittens, cut at 2".  I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss the white trim on the hats and gloves.  Here is a close up:

All paper and the grosgrain ribbon were from the Close to My Heart "Jingle" pack from last year.  This is the first time I've used it and I love the colors!!  I added some bakers twine that I won from My Craft Spot.

I added a Martha Stewart Tag and the sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts "Have a Cool Yule" stamp set.

I inked everying up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye and a Teal Blue Studio G ink pad that I got at Michaels in the $1.00 bin.  I finished the whole card off by going over some of the snowflakes and the sentiment with my Silver Glitter Gel Pen.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
