Happy Bear-lated Brrrthday

Hello everyone.  Yikes!  It’s November already!?  Christmas is next month and Whimsy Stamps (WS) has another fabulous new Christmas release out today!  So it’s ironic that I am sharing a winter birthday card instead of a Christmas card. 😂   But I needed a birthday card for a crafty friend whose birthday was last week.  Not sure if she received it yet because it was sent late, but here it is. 


I thought this bear image in the new super adorable Sheltering Love stamp set would make a cute “Y” substitute.  He was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with the matching die.  The ABC Bold letters were also die cut from alcohol marker friendly cardstock and ombré coloured with the same blue Copic Sketch markers (B000, B00, B12, FB02) used to colour the bear.


Birthday was die cut from black cardstock.  Cut off the “i” and die cut the “r” two more times to create punny “brrrthday”.  The background was from my stash.  Tumbled Glass distress ink was ink blended over the hill edge of the It’s Snowing stencil.  “Bear-lated” from Bearing Gifts was white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed down.  Assembled the card onto a split black/white card base to finish.


Here’s a snapshot of some of the projects from the design team.

Love the punny sentiment you realized and the way you used the bear stamp for the "Y"!!!! Your creativity is always stunning and inspiring! A great stretching of your dies!! Fabulous colouring and your ombré coloured on Happy is a distintive mark of you! :)
