Polar Delivery - Stampin' Up!® Jolly Delivery

 I had a bit of fun combining 2 challenges for this card.  The colors are from The Color Throwdown and are fabulously bright and the layout is from SUO Challenges which is quite similar to last weeks Freshly made Sketches layout that I missed playing along with so I'm getting a second chance with this one! I thought these colors would be great for a birthday card but then ended up making a Christmas card instead!

  I translated the challenge colors into Stampin' Up!® Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush and Lemon Lime Twist and made the fun paneled background with pieces of Florals in Bloom DSP (Strawberry Slush) and retired Friends of the Ocean DSP (Pumpkin Pie).  I adhered the DSP to a piece of Basic White and then adhered that to the Strawberry Slush card base.

  I love the bear in the Jolly Delivery stamp set and that was the perfect way to not only have some white to contrast with the bright colors but also to have the 3 challenge colors represented with the gifts on his back.  The bear is highlighted with a bit of Pool Party Stampin' Blends and then the gifts are colored as well.  He's mounted on dimensionals on a Lemon Lime Twist Spotlight on Nature die cut circle.

  The sentiment is added under the bear and a bit of retired Pumpkin Pie twine tucked under.  I had to dig through a lot of retired embellishments to find some Lemon Lime Twist ones but luckily I had some Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins that did the trick! And I added a pink one to the LLT gift since that one doesn't have a bow.

 And finally I used clear Wink of Stella to add a bit of sparkle to the gifts as the last detail to finish off this bright, non-traditional Christmas card.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
