Hello!!! Well I knew I needed a bit of a blogging break but i certainly didn't think it would end up being almost a year long one?! I have been making some cards all along just haven't been doing any challenges or blogging. But it's November and time once again for Beccy's Place, Month of Holiday Cards Challenge and I just can't pass up the opportunity to participate again this year! I enjoy it so much.
Okay unto my card! The bear silhouette is a older wooden Darcie's stamp. I couldn't get a solid enough image for my liking with just ink so i touched it up with my copics. Fussy cut it out and glued it onto a embossed oval. Thought the boot print embossing and Buffalo Plaid went great with the image but it just wasn't very Christmassy so added some holly around his neck? Not sure that it looks right but.....will have to do! I think i will do another card minus the holly and have it be a masculine Birthday day card?! Always need more of those in my stash!

Love it! What a great image and the buffalo plaid works perfectly with Mr Bear!
I LOVE the addition of the holly around his neck Janice, what a great way to add a festive element to the design... particularly with the little rhinestones as berries. I also like the wonderful Buffalo Plaid you used in the background, it gives your card a wonderful outdoorsy look.
I was surprised to read that you haven't been blogging for almost a year! I'm really glad you decided to get back into it for our November challenge.
Cheers,
Beccy
So great to see you back, finally!!! Love this adorable card and your Bear looks fabulous with the holly around his neck! That was the first thing I noticed along with the pretty Buffalo Check paper! Love the boot print embossing on the card base! It really adds to your card! Awesome job, Janice! :)
Well now, I have been slacking on here, but not a years worth! Good to see you, my friend! That Buffalo Plaid looks fantastic with the bear!
Love your big brown bear with his holly decoration - he sets off your festive plaid a treat! So glad our challenge helped you find your motivation to blog - thanks for sharing your card with us over at The Paper Players this week!
