Sleepy Bear by All Dressed Up Stamps for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #267 on the 7th of December, 2025

Hi All!

I have been travelling for work - just back from two weeks in Perth, I was trying to finish this post while I was over there, but too much work!

Anyway, welcome to my post about my card for challenge #267, the 7th of December 2025 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

I chose Sleepy Bear, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and coloured with the following Copics markers:

• bears - N0, N1, N3, R00
• scarves - BG10, BG72, B02
• sled - C0, C1, C3, E33, E35, E37
• sky - Y000, YR000, B60, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, white gel pen
• snow - Y000, YR000, BV20, BV23, BV25
• frame - BV25

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring before I did the background:

Then after I completed the background and coloured the snow with white gel pen:

I adhered the frame and coloured image to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.
