Woodland Holiday Cheer

Here's a simple winter design based on the current Deconstructed Sketch.  I've been wanting to use the polar bear image from the new Party Elements:  Winter Woodland set from Clear and Simple Stamps and this layout was perfect for showcasing the sweet bear pair.

The bears are stamped in white pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder for a nice contrast against the My Style Blueprint panel.  To ground them, I added a strip of torn White Pearl cardstock beneath their feet.  A few small snowflakes are stamped randomly above the bears in silver ink.

I matted the stamped panel on gray cardstock, then added the "holiday cheer" sentiment at the bottom of the panel.  It's set on top of a light blue dotted patterned paper panel that I wrapped with some white twine.

I adhered the layered panels on another My Style Blueprint panel.  The machine stitching around the panel's edges makes a nice frame for the layered panels.
