Beary Christmas

What a lovely Saturday it has been. It is definitely summer now - although there was a lovely storm at 2am this morning. Also, we are forecast rain for the first few days of the week :(. Just means I will have to make sure I get a suitable amount done at the allotments tomorrow, so that I do not have to worry abut possibly not getting anything done in the evenings.

I have made a Christmas card today (in between painting the sun-room walls), and here it is:

The base card was free with a Cross Stitcher magazine a few years ago, so I decided it was time to use it. The sentiment piece is recycled from last years received Christmas cards, but I thought it fit the themes of glitter and silver belles nicely. The patterned paper is also glittered and is fro the Winter Wonderland paper stack by Helz Cuppleditch. The bear stamp is one I got from my grandma, and is coloured using promarkers and cut using X-cut hearts nesting dies. Finally the strings and card embellishment were added to finish the card to follow the atlantic hearts sketch 114.


The other challenges that inspired this card are:
Winter Wonderland - All that Glitters
Crafty Hazelnut 236 Include a sentiment
sweet stampin' Bear with me
alphabet challenge J for Jewels (on the strings and topper)
jingle belles Silver Belles
simply create too #89 Get head for Christmas
stamping boutique Recipe - 1 image (bear), 2 papers (backgrounds), 3 embellishments (2 strings and 1 topper)
Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Christmas Stockings
Card Mania #70 Anything Goes
crafty calender Christmas in July


Thank you for looking and do feel free to leave constructive chriticism.
