Santa Teddy

I have another Christmas card to share with you today.

I have used a stamped image which I dont do much of as it never came out perfect but then at Christmas I was given a set of rocker blocks and have used them several times noe and love them so you will see more stamped images from me.

This card was made for Oldie but a goodie challenge in which you have to use something that is over 6 months old.
The image is from Kanban and is wooly bears (santa bear) I go it from hobbycraft about a year ago.I coloured my image with pro-markers and randomly stamped the card with a merry christmas stamp cant remember what that one came from,I made my image into a dangle by using my CM cutting system, placed a red foil circle inside the card and added a red and silver ribbon bow which was in my stash and must be atleast 2 years old and finished off with 4 red hearts.

And keeping with my pledge nothing was newly purchased to make my card.
