Christmas Joy

 Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: "It's Alive".  I am using an image from one of our fabulous sponsors: Polkadoodles.

 Here is my card:

Normally, I would not think about cutting in image into pieces, but I found a fun sketch that I really wanted to try.  And I think it actually turned out really cute!  I mean, the image is adorable, so it couldn't help but turn out cute, could it?  I just love that little polar bear!!  I added some gold nuvo sparkle pen to the holly berries and the bell on the bear's hat, and the snowflake was die cut from a holographic glitter paper.  You can see the sparkle better in the photo below.

I finished everything off some tiny clear rhinestones and a fun stitched sentiment banner.

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Polkadoodles "Polar Bear Gnome Festive Fun" digi; Verve "Beyond Measure" sentiment

Dies: MFT "Blueprints 12" stitched banner; Papertrey Ink snowflake die
