I made this card for the Critter Crazy Challenge #113 - Anything with Critters Goes. My friend, Faith, in on the Design Team. I'm happy to finally had a chance to make a card to join in. :)
I die-cut the bear from Soft Suede cardstock and used a fine-tip black marker to go over the scored design of the die. I used a SU! black marker to go along the outside edge as well. It (sort of) looks like it's a stamp, but it's all a die. Today I saw a video where Jo Simons inked a background die and then pressed a piece of cardstock over top. What a great idea. I will try that next time. :)
I sponged around the outside of the die with Gathered Twigs distress ink and then added some red chalk for the cheeks, and a few details with a white acrylic pen. I created the background with a piece of red plaid paper with real red strip at the bottom for the bear to rest on. The sentiment is computer generated. To finish, the main panel was popped up with foam onto a white card base for a little dimension.

I was sure it was a stamp, not a die. Great idea to highlight the cut edges with a black fineliner. As always, your coloring is so soft, perfect for the sweet little bear who looks a little disoriented. A wonderful Christmas card, my dear Loll.

Love your card,,, that bear looks like I feel...🤣
Your tired bear is adorable and it does look like a stamp. You did a great job adding all the details. The red plaid paper is perfect with him. Love your card. Have a great weekend.
