PDCC and Lil' Inker Designs!

Today I'm here with a card using the cute cute Ccoa Bear image from Lil' Inker Designs and 2 cute ink!  This uses the beautiful holiday challenge over at The Play Date Cafe and it's sponsored by none other than Lil' Inker Designs!  Here is the color story from PDCC..........

Last time you saw this image, Cocoa Bear was totally colored in with Copics.   This time I've combined Copics with paper piecing!  I've forgotten how much I love to do this!  Using the fabulous papers from the Season's Greetings collection by Echo Park, they were the PERFECT match for this color story!

The side border is the Wonky Scallop Border by MFT.  The die cut that Cocoa Bear is sitting on is actually the Mat Stack 3 die cut once and then place back in the die the other way to "cut off" the circular top.  Makes a fun ticket type shape!  Cocoa Bear is also sitting on a grey stamped shadow stamp from the set Warm Happiness by PTI to "ground" him.

I think my favorite parts of this card are the sentiment and that I popped up Cocoa Bear's head for dimension!  I used a sentiment from the Cocoa Bear set but didn't want the whole thing so I just stamped and cut out the words at whatever angles looked good.  Well, I'm off now to do some more wrapping and hopefully some baking for the holiday.  One more day off before I have to work Christmas Eve.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lil' Inker Designs December Release: Cocoa Bear

Welcome to the last blog hop day of the newest Lil' Inker Designs!  You should have arrived from the Lil' Inker Designs blog. 

Today the entire Design Team is featuring creations using another ADORABLE image from the new line 2 cute ink!  This image is named Cocoa Bear! 

Now, I am fairly new to Copics......I mean I've been buying them for a while here and there but haven't really used them.  Well, this release has changed things for me!  (again Thanks Laura!)  Look at my card using this cutie!

You see the tiny snowflakes on the right side?  That little trio is a stamp that is included in this set!  I wanted to point out that I scored some lines on either side of the gingham paper and used my Glossy Accents again for this!  I will not stop using it!  haha
