Silent Night

 Hello, everyone!  It's time for the mid-month reminder for the challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Winter.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Polkadoodles.

 Here is my card:
Isn't he so adorable??!!  Oh, my goodness!  I colored him up with my Spectrum Noir markers, sponged on some yellow ink around the candle, and added some flocking to his hat brim and pom pom.  It adds such great texture and I don't have to try to color it!  Win, win, if you ask me!  I die cut the image panel with a stitched rectangle die, added a strip of patterned paper across the top, tied on a bit of ribbon and stamped the sentiment on a pre-punched tag and that was it!

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 "Lantern Bear" digi; Papertrey Ink "Just Sentiments: Be Merry"
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle

Such a sweet and cuddly bear cub, Heather. I am a big fan of plaid on holiday cards and you have used it beautifully, along with the red satin ribbon. I love the texture you added to create the fur trim. Great card! Thank you for sharing with us at Double Trouble #180.
