I stamped the image in black ink and heat embossed in clear. I watercoloured the sweet bear and tree and added a bit of colour at the bottom to ground the image. I added gold glitz glitter gel to the stars to give them some sparkle, as well as red glitz glitter gel to the ornaments on the tree. Snow glitter paste was used to add even more sparkle and texture to the bear's hat cuff and pompom.
To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Penny Black Shine Upon You (30-938) stamp set. I thought the message was perfect to go with this adorable bear. :)

Another sweet bear stamp from PB! And your coloring makes him look alive and more adorable, Loll! The shine of the heat-embossing and the sparkle here and there are wonderful touches.
