Warm Bear Hugs - Color Throwdown 622

~

I can't believe it's Wednesday again already!  And December?  How did that happen??

How about a brand new Color Throwdown challenge?  Today the generic colors are Red, Burgundy, Cream, and Kraft.  What a great combo!

I sure would like to dive head first into that cheesecake, y'all!  It looks totally scrumptious!  But instead I pulled out the new Forest Fellas from Power Poppy and used the Bear for a masculine birthday card.  A bear with a scarf and a cup of coffee/cocoa!  What could be better?

I colored him with Copic markers, using the dot method on his fur.  I used a rag dipped in Various Ink blending solution to create the texture on his overalls.  And I thought the Pine Needles embossing on the background added even more of a woodsy touch!

We would love for you to play along!  Link up your paper craft creation at the Color Throwdown blog and check out the great inspiration from the design team:

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! You know my address, right?! Seriously LOVE this card! Your coloring of that totally adorable bear — his watch! the coffee cup! his bibs! That embossing folder is fabulous - where have I been to not know about it?! Absolutely the BEST card I’ve seen in ages. Happy December from the fluffy old girl who wears bibs and lives in the pines in the mitten 😇.

This little bear is so cute. Glad to catch glimpse of him on this adorable card.

Oh, dang, you know I love this, Broni! Every which way he's colored, he's my favorite bear guy. The texture you added is awesome. A most notable design element is the trees under the sentiment. Perfection!
