Lawn Fawn - A Waving Pull Tab Slimline Polar Bear Card

 Hi there,

Today I'm back with some cute polar bears celebrating Christmas on the ice field. To create this card, I gathered most of the bears we got in the new release, as well as some other images to help me create my scene. I stamped all the images on white cardstock using jet black ink and used the coordinating dies to cut them all.

When the coloring was done, I cut some elements to build my background: a slimline panel, a wavy borders, and two dens.

I started by coloring the wavy border using blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire and black soot distress inks. I colored the middle section of the slimline panel using tumbled glass. And used cracked pistachio and salty ocean distress inks for the sky.

Like always I added texture to those elements, as well as liquid stardust drops all over the panel to get a starry sky and a sparkly snow field.

I created a den for my bear family, and next I moved on to the waving pull tab mechanism and I encourage you to watch the video below to see how it was done, it's easier to understand with images ^^

When the mechanism was done, I attached the bear between the arms using foam tape. I also stuck the ocean border using double sided tape, and I gave the bear a blue scarf using glue dots. I stamped two more snow angel prints, and stuck two little bears on those print using foam tape again.

I applied two layers of foam tape at the back of my panel, making sure to stay away from the pull strip, and I stuck my panel on a card base. And then I finally attached the rest of the images using glue dots and foam tape.

Once everything was attached, I cut an arrow out of pixie dust cardstock that I attached at the top of the pull strip. Next I made the christmas tree lights shiny using glossy accents. And finally I added chunky glitter on the top edge of the wavy border.
