Mojo Monday 106

This week's card is dedicated to those who bravely rescued the unfortunate flood victims in the Philippines. And to those who sincerely dedicated their time to raise money and provided help to those in need of basic necessities like food and water. And to the prayers that have been offered to pray for those who are still in danger. Also, I thank you to all for those whose thoughts and prayers have consoled friends and family. Thank you.

Bear Day Cards - Big Shot Die

Today was a good day to make bear cards and I just added on some small features on my bears.
As you will notice, the eyes of these bears will have some highlights on them as well as the noses. It's just White Gel Pens! After adhering the brown or black cardstock behind the eye and nose holes, mark them with white gel pens. Just make the dots on the upper side of the eye and draw a curve underneath the eye. This will give you a cute expression on the bears eyes. You may also draw some lashes with black pen.

On this card, I made 2 cutie bears side by side. They can be Best Friends, Mom and Daughter pair or Sisters. Even if they do not fit a regular size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"), they still look so cute. ( I also embossed the background)

This bear may be for Valentines Day but I choose to have it as a Birthday card, ain't she cute!
