Present Pile

I have another Christmas card to share today...featuring cute little James the Bear by Lili of the Valley...this stamp is called 'Present Pile'. I coloured him using watercolour pencils to match the 'Bundled Up' paper by Crate Paper. I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment is from the 'Scribbly Trees' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, and the adhesive pearls are from Hobbycrft.
