This is for the Featured Stamper Challenge. Carolyn / SnowmanQueen's gallery is awesome. I selected this Christmas card because I loved the elements she used for this design and I thought it might work well for my bear image. ( I have a lot of these bears pre-stamped from a project for long ago. )
From Carolyn's card: I changed the image, but not the occasion. Both are in ovals, except I did not mat mine. I used the brick wall EF like Carolyn did and I matted it on Handsome Hunter. I raised the horizontal strip up higher on the card. I stamped on the cardstock and did not distress the edges; and used plaid ribbon & bow instead of burlap ribbon. Same type colors, but different shades. Added a die-cut sentiment, but different one. Wonderful inspiration! I will link this card also for the Christmas Card Challenge for April - use a critter. Thanks for sharing your cards Carolyn! TFL

Very sweet! Love that you moved the bar up some from the inspiration card for your hanging stocking, great move. Pretty texture feel and love the plaid ribbon.
