Slow Bears dancing

This card uses stamps from a set from Ceative Expressions. I just love these bears and their whimsical ways.I have coloured the image using promarkers.
The backing papers are from my stash box. I have added some rosettes with metal charms in the centres. There is also a flourishes from Marianne dies. The border strip has been embellished with a die cut strip of musical notes from Tim Holtz and an extra strip underneath using a border punch. The signpost(slow bears dancing) is from the same set as the main image. I stamped it, cut it out and coloured it. I thought it added a lovely saying to the cards and a bit of humour. I have finally added some texture to this card by adding some cosmic shimmer twinkles which really glitter and have a great touchy feel to them. They are great for anything icy and frosty.
Promarkers used:cool grey 1, 2, pastel blue, powder blue, pearl blue.
