Welcone to this week’s Merry Monday Challenge! Things are heating up this week here in So. Cal it’s suppose to hit 100 around here crazy weather!!! This week, Linda S. has challenged us to add a present to our cards…….. I decided to have the cute little Beary Merry Bear from Neat and Tangled deliver some presents to you!!!
You can check out the challenge HERE and also see what the rest of the design team created.

For my card this week I stamped several of the images from the Beary Merry stamp set onto XPress It blending card and colored it with various copic markers. I then die cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I stamped the bear onto a piece of MME Comfort & Joy (6×6) paper and cut out the scarf and paper pierced it onto the bear. This paper pack is no longer available.
I cut another piece of the plaid design from the paper pack and adhered it onto a (5.50×4.25) card base. I die cut a panel of Neenah Solar White card with one of the SSS Stitched Rectangle Wafer dies and ink blended Salty Ocean and Stormy Sky Distress Inks for the sky and splattered some Copic Opaque White for the falling snow. A Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside die was used to give me a snow slope… I blended a little of the Salty Ocean and Stormy Sky onto the top of the slope. 

To finish off my card I adhered the Beary Merry Bear on top of the slope and placed the presents in his arms and around him. The SSS Gifts of Love greeting was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink on the bottom of the snow slope.

I hope you like my take on this weeks challenge. Thank you for stopping by!
