My 2013 New Year Resolutions are to practice painting with Distress Ink, make more effort with colouring in general, do lots of stitching on my creations, and try to improve my feeble attempts at masculine cards (I love pink too much to ever be good at this, so perhaps this will be my first resolution to fall by the wayside). I love your feedback on my creations and I read every message, so please leave a comment, or use my sidebar 'chatbox' widget to let me know you've visited.

Double Trouble with Barry Bear

Despite it being January, it's Christmas every week at the ABC Christmas Challenge.  The theme this fortnight is an easy "A for Animal". We're being sponsored by Stampfairy and I've made 2 more circle step cards, both using Stampfairy's Barry bear. I've coloured him in grey for the first card, and brown in the second for some variation.  I don't usually colour Barry in brown, but he looks cute (and a bit younger!) so he may be brown more often now!



And here's my second card, without the snowflake dies; just an embossed circle step card, two trees and my image.  Oh and a spot of snow!  Simples !!!
