Today I've used one of the newer stamps from Penny Black - Hearth. I stamped onto mixed media paper in black pigment ink and heat set before watercolouring with Distress Inks. I just love painting these adorable bears!! :)
Close-up ...
I used the matching die (Hearth Cut Out) to die-cut the main image, along with two gifts I had stamped and watercoloured. I started with adding a card front of white dry embossed with Diagonals (Penny Black). I adhered it to my card base and then added the heart scene overtop, making sure to add a few pop-dots at the top (under star, clock, candles, and trees). The two gifts were added on top on the right side. I cut the larger frame (Double Frames - Penny Black) from Real Red card stock and placed it over top of the image, making sure that the star on top had the frame underneath it.
To finish, I added a lovely gold foiled sentiment given to me by a sweet friend.
I'm entering this card into a few challenges:
2) Peace on Earth #77 - inspired by the traditional colours on their mood board

This is sooo cute! They look so festive sat in front of the tree. Love the texture in the background too, and the fancy frame really finishes everything off nicely xx
This is adorable, Loll and LOOKS like a lot of work too. What a wonderful design and exceptional painting. Love this one.
We could have used this wonderful fire in our hearth this morning, Loll! Power was out for 12 hours - brrrr!
Just as sweet as can be tucked into that bright red frame!

More PB oh so cute bears Loll and beautifully watercoloured as alway, and I love the way you have set the scene within the wonderful red frame, and placed the embossed Diagonals in the background, and finished with a lovely gold embossed sentiment....a gorgeous card. x
These bears are adorable in any setting, but especially with your framing and top notch watercoloring. Love that background embossing, too. What cozy and adorable scene!
Such a cute festive card, Loll.

Adorable card with those cute bears sitting in front of the hearth and the cut Christmas tree. The red frame is perfect.

You color these bears so well, Lolly! They look so cozy and the one looks like he's reassuring his brother that Santa will put something good in his stocking.
Sweet bears, and sweet scene, this is really a terrific card and a place I dream of being!
