I decided to go with colours similar to the ones on the inspiration card. The edges of the patterned paper and the pine cone circle are sponged with gold ink, and the image and sentiment are embossed in gold. The sentiment does show up better in real life than it does in the photo!
Now this one I'm really happy with!
I thought this little polar bear scene was perfect to highlight in a circular frame! And since I already had this patterned paper out from the card I posted yesterday, it all came together quite easily. ☺

Wow, Linds, what a week you've had -- I love the olive goodness of the first card (big shocker, I know), especially paired with the elegant gold embossing. The stamp on the second card is so. dang. cute!
I love them both! The green card is a close match to the inspiration card and I like that you embossed with gold and used the gold ink to sponge. But I absolutely adore the polar bear and love how he is 'spotlighted' in the circle! and the paper is perfect .. and uses up some scrap from the previous crafting adventure! This was a ton of fun!!
OHH! LOVE the two cards using the same design! I love that first one--love the green paper and gold embossing! AMAZING:) And your second one has the sweetest image ever! LOVE:)
This is such a sweet card. I love the image and how you have showcased it. Great card!
That polar bear is very sweet and looks perfect framed with a circle; what a great layout.
beautiful girlie. Love the fabulous embossing on the first and that sweet polar bear is adorable.
Hi Lindsey!
These are really lovely! I love the one with the gold as well, but, yep, the one with the polar bear is absolutely perfect! Looks great in the circle! and pretty colors! I like it a lot!!!
Hugs, Wendy
I agree with you--the green and gold is pretty and elegant, but who can resist a polar bear?!? Love the perfectly placed bling accent and the wonderful subtle coloring (of course, I guess there's not much to color on a polar bear, is there?). It's been fun seeing what the two of you picked out and created!
Love the richness of the gold and the green - and you really are an embossing master. Your images always look so clean!
That polar bear image really is super adorable and I love your little touch of bling and perfectly placed bow.
These are so beautiful! Wow, I totally love the gold embossing against the green. And I see you got some Sunshine Designs stamps. That little image is one of my favourites!!
I love the great gold embossing, so rich and elegant! That polar bear stamp on the second is so cute!
What a great idea! Sorry that I didn't catch on earlier! These two cards are so different with the same sketch! Love them!
