A Christmas Bear Hug

A Christmas card today, using one of my fave Christmas colour combos, red, white and kraft.  I dug out one of my old Penny Black stamps, called Bear Hug, for this one, colouring it with my Promarkers, highlighting with a touch of Star Dust Stickles.
 The spots and stripes card is from Anna Marie Designs, to which I've added kraft card for matting, stamping and heat embossing a sentiment with a Papermania stamp, directly onto one of the mats.
To embellish, I added some kraft coloured ribbon with a matching bow, some snowflakes cute with Sweet Dixie dies from glitter card and topped with red gems, and some home made Card Candi, made with a small Xcut circle punch and an embossing tool, as I didn't have any real Candi in the right colour.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -

    I love this Wendy, I just saw it spotlighted at Crafting By Designs and had to take a closer look. The kraft card looks gold with that ribbon, and against the red and white it is so beautiful, simply stunning. XOX Lucy
