Beary Merry Christmas

I made this card for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge 'Have a Very Bear-y Christmas' challenge.  I'm also entering the Christmas with the Cuties 'Beginning with B' challenge (I have chosen bear, brown & blue), the Cuttlebug Mania 'We are not Blue' challenge (my four different blues are James' hat and scarf, the pale blue snowflake paper, the dark blue strip of paper and the blue pearlescent card) and Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes'.

6" x 6" white matt card blank
Lili of the Valley 'James Bear in Snow' Mini Masterpiece image
Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Labels One' and 'Decorative Labels One'
Kars tan embossing mat
Lili of the Valley 'Frosty Christmas' papers
Dark blue pearlescent card
White Fun Flock
Diamond Stickles

I trimmed a square of dark blue card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and attached two pieces of pale blue snowflake paper at the top and bottom with a strip of darker blue paper across the centre to hide the join.  I die cut and embossed the precoloured image before layering it onto a die cut and embossed Decorative Label that had been cut from dark blue card.  This panel was then attached to the centre of the card.  To finish I added Fun Flock to James' hat and Diamond Stickles to the snowflakes.
