Arctic Bears

Woo hoo!  So excited that we're finally back at Retro Rubber #198!  For our opening round we'd like to see your retro winter themes!
After a browse through my Winter sets I settled on Arctic Bears from 2021- I haven't used these cuties in at least that long!  I kept it pretty basic today - that big polar bear is too majestic to fuss with too much!  I started with setting his scene in Navy, and then smudging the ink a bit with a Blender Pen.  I popped up my bear in Basic Gray, and gave him some birds and the sentiment in the same color.  In the end, I couldn't resist a few of our new Milky Dots in Navy to go with - so excited to have more neutral embellies this year!
I can't wait to see YOUR Retro Winter projects - meet you at the challenge!
