I made this card for Bizzy Becs - Creatalicious Challenge #4 which is to "make something for Christmas - include snowflakes and lots of sparkle/glitter" - see this link: http://creataliciouschallenges.blogspot.com/ for all the deets.
It also fits into the Clean & Sample Challenge of CAS27 - Show off your bling! See this link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The really sweet image was designed by Gillian Roberts for Stampavie - she has some really cute Christmas stamps and because it was a teddy bear, I just HAD to buy it (I am an Arctophile, ie: teddybear collector). The image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used Aleen's Tacky Glue to add the Flowersoft Polar White to the hat and pom-pom and also along the snowline. The snowflake was diecut with my CB and popped up on 1mm mounts and I added Kindyglitz Crystalina to the snowflake as well as the present and holly leaves. I added Kindyglitz red to the holly berries. I ran my Warm Green inkpad around the sentiment and it was popped up on 1mm mounts. The ribbon was made in 2 separate elements.
Thanks for having a peek at my card!

Gorgeous! Let see where to start....you know I love your blue skies. Great fluffly texture on the hat. Lovely coloring! And I love the placement of that one snowflake and sentiment!
