Traditional Christmas Bear

Christmas cards are going to become a regular feature as I crack on and get them made.  I have a couple of quick and easy ideas up my sleeve, but I do like spending the time to colour images in.

I do have a huge soft for James, and he looks so cute balancing all these presents!!  Having coloured him in using my pens I matted him onto kraft cardstock and the dp is matted onto kraft.  I love Simple Stories paper pads, gorgeous designs and really good quality paper.  I added a doilly and some wire that I have twisted - not used wire for AGES on my cards - this is what happens when you do a mega tidy - you find long lost stash!!  The tag is cut using a Spellbinder Christmas tag set, and the sentiment is from LOTV, but I think they must no longerdo it as I can't find it listed in their shop.  Finally polar white flock and stickles were added to the image.
