Christmas Card Club #15 - Use A Christmas Teddy.....

.....or maybe a Polar bear?
Teddy's are bears, Polar bears are bears - so same thing, right?

Hi Crafters,
This is the dilemma I had when making my card for our Christmas card club using the theme set by Sue P this time. I didn't own a Christmas Teddy bear stamp or digital image and I didn't want to have to buy one so...     ...firstly I used a magazine freebie stamp that I have had for ages and never used, it's an old DoCrafts one I think. This is actually of a Christmas dog and thought this might pass for a Teddy, but alas the stamp has a lot of shading on it and when I coloured it with my Promarkers I wasn't very happy with how it turned out. Then I remembered a Lily of the Valley stamp in my box called 'Snow Buddies' and this is the only bear I have remotely connected to Christmas, so sorry Sue for changing it up a little but here he is....

I have used my SB hexagon dies, some bakers twine, a Dreamees sentiment, my Promarkers,  Marianne Designs snowflake die and a present charm. The background paper is from a Dovecraft Christmas pad. Here is a close up of the gorgeous bear with his Christmas present - so sweet.

P.S. Here is my poor Christmas Dog reject card...   ...don't laugh too much he's a bit sensitive  :)

 

.... and he definitely doesn't look like he's having the 'most wonderful time' does he?  :/
