#2026calendarchallenge - Behold the final Bear!!! 🐻 So very happy how he turned out. 😁

Additional layers of stamping, alcohol ink, acrylic paint, penciled in constellations and theme (HIBERNATE) on the background, colored pencil on the pine branch, and a light splatter of white after everything was glued down.

Really like how painting the back of the tissue paper letters with gold calligraphy ink worked out. Used that same gold ink to add a star on the bear’s forehead.
