Hey Friends! It’s EK Gorman, and while it may be the second day of the New Year, I still want want to wish you a Beary Happy New Year with a few of my beary favorite critters!
Step One: Die cut the Koala die set from some 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock, color and assemble it using Kids Choice Glue. I used copic marks in Warm Gray to color the image.
Step Two: Repeat step one, except use the Panda Bear die set. I used copic markers in Cool Gray to color the Panda Bear.
Step Three: Repeat step one again, except use the Honey Bear dies set. I used copic markers in the E10-E19 range to color the bear.
Step Four: Die cut several new year themed images from the Party Accessories die set using 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock. Color in the images using alcohol markers. I used copics in Neutral Gray N4, N6, and N8. Add gold accents using acrylic paint. I used Golden Fluids Iridescent Gold Deep.
Step Five: Adhere the party accessories to the three bears.
Step Six: Trim a piece of Cafe au Lait Soft Finish Cardstock to 12×6 inches, and score and fold the cardstock to create a 6×6 card frame. Using Distress Oxide in Black Soot, distress the cardstock to create a moody background.
Step Seven: Splatter the background of the card frame with the gold acrylic paint. Paint more paint onto some 90lb White Soft Finish Cardstock, let dry, and die cut using the Adventure Edges die set. Adhere to the card frame using some 6mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive.
Step Eight: Adhere the bears to the card frame using 6mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive.
Step Nine: Die cut the sentiment from the gold painted cardstock. I used the Words 5- Winter Wishes. Adhere with Kids Choice Glue.
I hope the New Year finds you hopeful and full of joy. Let us know in the comments below your favorite way to create cards for the new years.
