Beary Happy New Year CCC

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
  
 
I wish you all a Happy New Year.
 
My first card of the year, a bear that I have had since 2015, certainly not new, but the first time I have used him. I printed him out to suit a 6 x 6 card and die cut him out. I then coloured him. I thought of Winter colours, so went with that. He was then layered onto die cut pearlised card layers, matching the ink colours, the greens look different but are a great match in real life.
 
As for the sentiment, I found it in my sentiment box pre stamped, I thought it suited, so went with it. After all, we enjoy having fun in the snow, don't we? OK! We used to, hahaha. I added a touch of glue to the sentiment corners, and the snowflakes, and sprinkled glitter onto it. And of course, he had to have eyes and a 3D glaze nose.
 
bear - Collette Smith, Cosmic Strawberry 
inks - Spectrum Noir markers
die - Sue Wilson Square Noble dies
sentiment - magazine freebie SCP
card - Hunkydory 
eyes - stash
3D glaze Nuvo Crystal Glaze
 Not a brighter photo due to lashing rain, when taken! 
 
It's a while since I entered any challenges, but I saw this at AAA and felt I had to enter.

Great fun card Faith, your bear is really cute. Sending love and best wishes for 2026 - it will be a year of “firsts” for you which will be challenging, but with the love and support of your family and friends you will get through it, and hopefully find joy in life again xx❤️
