ABC Christmas Challenge - B is for...

We're on to the letter B over at the ABC Christmas Challenge this fortnight...and with Dorte as our host we have a 'B' tastic challenge for you:

'B is for Bears...with one or more of: Bunting, Banners, Brads, Bling, Buttons, Bows & Blooms!'
Phew...what a mouthful! lol

We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge:

Our very own Lacey with her store Stamp and create:

and a whopping prize
and
Bugaboo

fabulous Prize

I've used an image from Bugaboo stamps called 'Christmas Teddy 2 Ornaments'...in fact my card is being showcased over on the Bugaboo blog today...how exciting! I coloured him using watercolour pencils to match my blue & brown colour combo....I'm hoping for extra brownie points for my extra 'Bs'! lol I used my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' and Sizzix 'Snowflakes' folders to emboss my card...then added a Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' snowflake...with a button & bow in it's centre.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, and some of the Bugaboo girls, please pop over to the ABC Christmas Challenge.
