It's a bird, it's a plane.....no it's a bear!!!! No surprise huh??? This is one of the Christmas images from "priscillastyles" done with this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch. I really love this folded frame technique. You can find the tutorial for this right here on Splitcoast Stampers. The gold paper is from the Paper Temptress. I used the Martha Stewart deep double loop punch and the new holly punch for my holly. I just drew the veins on the holly myself and used rhinestones for the berries. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you get to play with us this week!

How perfect is that image for you the bear lover! That folded frame is perfect for this layout and your holly is such a clever idea. I could look at this card all day long and probably still see something new. It is just beautiful!

What a fun technique. I'll have to check it out. Cute bear and love the holly punch. Your card is so sweet and adorable. How much chocolate did you consume making this one? LOL

Oh my Bearzi Wearzi, what is this here? A new technique. Wow, I really LOVE it. That bear is just popping out of that fantastic frame. Love your holly punch and bling. You did such an outstanding job on this. I don't know when I'll be able to do another challenge. I like to put my all into the MMSC's; but, I am just too worn out right now to put on my extensive thinking cap. I sure do get to enjoy yours though and I predict this one took 7.99 hours!!! LOL!! TFS your beautiful art with us!

This is so fancy, Bearzi!! I love that deep MS punch (those loops are fab!) and the holly punch, too. How clever to draw on your own veins!! I'm going to have to try that folded frame. How cool is that!! I have some awesome double-sided paper that would be so fun to try with that. Wonderful work on this work of art

Oh, what a darling bear and surrounded with pretty colors and bling...he must be happy!! You'd love my stamp room...my DH built a shelf overhead on nearly two walls, where I have my bear collection...all my sweeties (well, not all of them...some are on bookshelves and in a glass cabinet (like my precious Norman who has eyeglasses...so cute -- he-he!). Thanks again, Carol, for sharing this cutie with us...from another bear lover (but I have stopped collecting...I just keep them now).

I got it. Finally. Bear hugs and a love bears. How long has it taken me to figure all that out? Carol, I have to ask...just how many hours did you work on this darling card. Your bear in the center reminds me of a jack in the box! All the details are just perfect! Sweet sweet card.
