Critter Sweater Two Ways

Cuteness and fun abound with the new Simon Says Stamp Critter Sweater stamp/die sets!!  I have made a card using the Polar Bear die and given him a sweater with a snowy background for the first one...

I die cut the bear, then curved each of the sweater pattern strips before inking and stamping.  I stamped, then layered the bear, then adhered him to a black piece of cardstock that I had dotted with white gel pen spots for snow.  Here's a close-up...

The second card, I used the same colors and two of the three patterns from the first card, and made a thank you card...

I love the steel blue ink,  so I swiped a full sized card panel on the top and bottom with the blue...I think it kind of looks like suede...so cool.  I also swiped another piece of white cardstock, and die cut the sentiment from it...that way, the blues match...otherwise a bit distracting.  Here's a close up...

This was so much fun...these pattern strips are sweet and fun and easy to create with...you will probably see these again:)!!

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
