Christmas Bear Fun

Hi hope you have all had a lovely Monday.  This card was created for Susie & Vikki's Christmas Club. Challenge #17 Christmas Stitching.  I was trying to think of a way to incorporate stitching with out just adding it to the edge. My Christmas Bear Fun stamp gave me a good idea, where the bears are holding the length of tinsel I thought it would be a good idea to stitch that.

To create this card I used Stamps: Stamp It Christmas Bear Fun.  Cardstock: White hammered card, green, red glittered.  Papers: DP Karen Foster String of Lights.  Green.  Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black.  Colouring: Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils.  Sakura Glaze pens #800, #822, #830.  Dies: Sizzix Originals small Holly & Berries.  Cuttlebug embossing folder Divine Swirls.  Embellishments: Gold fibers, gold thread.

Hints and Tips

If you want to add a glossy accent to your card but don't want to wait for it to dry, try using Sakura clear glaze pen #800 it dries in a fraction of the time of Glossy Accents.  If you want to add more interest to your die cuts emboss them after cutting them it adds another dimension to them.
