The image is Fun Flurries (Penny Black). This is the first time using this particular stamp from the set, although I have used the other. I stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear before watercolouring with distress re-inkers. I added slight waves of soft blue ink in the sky (little hard to see in the photos), and tore a strip of paper for the snow hill. I sponged more of the same blue ink along the torn edge and added some glitter for sparkle. Clear Wink of Stella was also added to the bear's hat cuff and pompom, adding a little more sparkle as well. The image is cut out using the matching die (Fun Flurries Cut Out - Penny Black). Add the sentiment from Christmas Sentiments (Gina Marie Designs) to finish the card.

Those little bears are so cute. He has made me feel really chilly on the June day. Sorry, but I am no where near making Christmas cards yet, probably won't be until at least November! xx
This little bear is so cute Loll and beautifully watercoloured too, and the bits of blue in the sky and on the snowballs, and also on the edge of the snow hill look so pretty and a perfect sentiment to finish..gorgeous! x
