Hi there! Today I’m joining in on the MFT Card Design Superstar challenge for the coloring virtuoso category. I’ve been working on fuzzy hair coloring techniques with colored pencil, so I thought I’d try that out with these polar bears!

But instead of a polar bear, I turned him into a Grizzly bear that hikes! (this cutie is from the Polar Bear Pals stamp set).

This bear has a scarf because it’s cold on the mountain top! He would climb any mountain for you! And doesn’t he look quite fluffy?! He would give the best BEAR HUGS!!

For the background I used the Cloud Stencil from MFT (which is still one of my absolute favorite things in the craft room)! And for the mountain I ripped some paper to make a sort of stencil to create that jagged edge. I added an extra shadow below the bear to show the light is behind him.

He has planted his flag to let you know just how much he loves you! I cut the flag from the fishtail sentiment strips dienamics.

Hope you like this grizzly bear as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by!
