Hello friends, since I don't have a DT post until Saturday
I thought I'd find a challenge to join in for today.
I chose The Paper Players CAS Bears challenge.
I hope my card is CAS enough for the challenge but I guess
everyone has a bit a difference of CAS. I don't have a lot of white space
but I do have a lot of 'green' space and after looking at the DT cards
there, I thought mine was CAS enough!

I had pulled out a different bear die to use but then caught site of this
little guy that has never been used yet and decided it was time for
his debut!! He is a Cottage Cutz 'Campin Out Bear On Log die.
I die cut him from a scrap of white card stock then colored each piece in with
TH Distress inks, makes it easy and faster that way them trying to
die cut each piece single.
After he was put together I decided he needed some pretty posies to go
with him so some of my already finished Spellbinders Bold Blooms
were added. The little sentiment is a leftover piece from my Katy Sue 3D cards.
See his little cup of hot cocoa perhaps? so cute with his little
paw print on it, I surely had fun with this guy and not near
as picky as some of the CC dies can be...total FUN!!

The colors are a much more deeper brown, so hard to get the correct colors sometimes, and the flowers on the right are much more a golden yellow color, sigh!
That's it for today, I am headed out to lunch and a shopping spree with my daughter!!

Your bear is adorable, Diane! I like the shading on his pelt and the colors of the surrounding flowers look great...I know what a challenge it can be to get colors to photograph well together. So glad I gave you a reason to use this die for the first time, Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players!
Oh My ... what a cute bear! Your color blending is awesome! What a fun birthday card ... well done my friend!
Gorgeous! The bear on his own is lovely - beautiful colouring - but it's that glorious spring garden around him that's really eye-catching. The dark green background really makes the colours pop. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players (and yes, our definition of CAS is pretty loose. :-) )
I love this bear! Your color blend looks perfect and the setting of woodland wildflowers with the green and kraft is such a great idea! I'd like to think he's in the woods rather than sitting on a log in the garden outside my window, eek! I checked and it's been 3 years since I last used this guy. Too much stuff? Nah! His mug with the paw print is the cutest!
Your coloring blending on that cute bear is fabulous. I also love the deep green with the brown as your background. So glad you shared this with us at The Paper Players this week
