Animals Stepping Out - Polar BearCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Reduced the file sizes to fit a 6" card, then printed on matte photo paper. Attached the insert to the card inside right with dst and the mat with the bear and background to the card front.

Removed the center square portion of the main topper, except for the leaves in the upper right that were hanging over the opening. Attached to the card with thin foam pads.

Cut out a bear, cutting the back leg to slip under the frame slightly, shaped the body very round, and attached with silicone gel. Cut the head from a second bear picture, shaped it quite round and attached with silicone gel, very flat across the bottom.

Used silicone gel for larger pieces and Pinflair glue for tiny pieces to attach the sentiment (from cup864743_76873), the round footprint charms, and the leaves in the clusters, creating lots of dimension. Absolutely wonderful design!
