Happy Sunday and I hope everyone is well. I looked on the calendar, saw one week left in July and my heart kinda sank a little. So many challenge plans, too little time for a slow crafter, lol. Time for priorities and Christmas in July is on top for the next few days. So, I'm sharing a really cute Pattie's Creations' Holiday Teddy Bear on my card today.
I'm of the generation (and maybe it's a Southern thang??) that was taught never to wear red with pink. It stuck, to this day I cringe a little at the sight of the two colors together. So this took a bit of courage to make. 😏😂 I was wanting to use these paper scraps from my stash box and they have red with pink, plus my card stock scraps were, too. Now that it's done, I feel a teeny bit liberated, lol. But I still probably won't wear white shoes after Labor Day (another no-no from back in the day).
The Splitcoaststampers sketch I used for my layout design, along with my card, to show how I followed it.
All of the sentiments are letter stickers. The large SEI are vellum and I stuck them on punched circles that I colored with Neon Pink Spectrum noir Glitter Pen. I stuck the small pink Cosmo Crickets letter stickers on strips of the hot pink card I also used as the base mat. Perfect color match! I outlined (ran the pen around) the 2 bottom layers with glitter gel pens and also used the pens to embellish the tree patterned paper. I colored the bear with the glitter pens. I added sparkly vinyl snowflakes all around as a final step.
Here's the tree patterned paper after I colored and embellished with my Sakura Starlight gel pens and Silver Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen.
Stamplorations sentiment stamped with Acorn Versafine Clair ink.
The back along with the front, to show continuity. Used more of the tree paper on the hot pink card.
And final view, trying to show all of the glitter and sparkle. Thanks for the visit today and I hope your week goes beary well! 😁😉

I had to laugh about the red and pink. And the white shoes after Labor Day. Nope we have the same old fashioned “rules” up here. Who made those fashion faux pas (or not) anyhow? I’m glad you conquered your red and pink together with that cute card. That bear is adorable. Happy start to this last week of July. I don’t know where this month went to. Hugs Erika
I'm here with 2 hats on today and I did a Squeal when I saw your card, I LOVE your pink and red Aimes, the brilliant take on the sketch, a lovely card, the fact the beary fits the sketch - clever. As always lovely details. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge this week. Good Luck and I’m looking forward to seeing you again in our next challenge.

Super sweet image and a gorgeous color palette! So happy you could join us for the Jingle Belles and Double Trouble Xmas in July festivities!
Adorable card Aimeslee. I can't say that I have heard of either of those "rules" although it may be an American thing (and I'm not in America). It is a colour scheme I've used before and now that you have conquered it with this card, I'm sure you will be able to go back to it with confidence. Thank you for entering the Use Some Twine or Ribbon Challenge at CHNC.
What a beary cute Christmas card, love the variety of colors and the many sparkly embellishments. And wow, front, back and inside all completed. We were partnering with Jingle Belles, so don't forget to enter your card in our challenge, you still have a couple days. Love to see you back at Double Trouble for future fun challenges. https://doubletroublechallenge.blogspot.com/2022/07/challenge-116-christmas-in-july.html

I've not heard of the pink/red rule but do know 'blue and green should never be seen unless upon a fairy queen!'.
Love your card and the use of scraps.
