The Christmas Card Challenge this month is black and polar bear. I have always cut polar bears with my Cricut so I decided I need something new.
After a search on line I found this coloring page image at Supercoloring. I sized it to be the front of an A2 sized card at 3.75x5 inches. I added a black border and printed it on a quarter sheet of white card stock. I then selected metallic blue, metallic silver and black from my Crayola pencil crayon set and started coloring. I used the blue for the sky and the silver for the snow. I added a bit more pressure on the shadow lines and just under the baby bear. I use the black for the noses, paws and ears. I did not worry about going over the border because I was going to trim later. Once done coloring I trimmed it to the border. I used the black crayon to color the white cut edge. The image was then added to a warm blue layer cut to 4.00x5.25 inches then onto a black card. This makes a winter card which works for those on my Christmas card list that don't embrace it the way I do.
I've lost all my lists from my blog when Blogger made changes on Sept 29th. It will take a long time to recover what I lost and some I may never remember. It's amazing and silly how we come to depend on this on line world and a reminder how not in control of it I am.
