Wish you a beary Christmas!

I had so much fun making this card. It has a little bit of everything: stamped Recollections ice skating bear colored with Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut and glued to a background of cardstock with wax resist stamped snow flakes and Color Box French Blue chalk ink sponged on. Die cut DoodleBug patterned paper for the card base, glittery Jolee's snowflake embellishments, finished off with baker's twine, glittery sentiment and a button! 
 

My inspiration for this card came from the challenges:

Jingle Belles Shape Up  make a card in any shape except a square or a rectangle
Merry Monday Challenge #120, Skates, Skis or Sled
Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Card Challenge Fur or Feather
Christmas Cards All Year Round Sparkle and Shine
And of course, I always submit to Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Card Extra Anything Goes!
