CDAC Progressive Challenge #6 - Christmas bear

This is another card I made for the challenge at CDAC, this is round 6th and I hope to win the markers!!! :) I chose a monochromatic theme (blue) for this male card.

I colored it with acuarelable pencils and used some bling for the snow and I made some faux stitches on the edges of the image, then I mounted on a blue cardstock.

As background I used a Fiskar's embossing plate (snowflakes) on a blue cardstock {I don´t see the moment I get the Big Shot I bought few weeks ago, it´s almost here!!!}. Then I used a Printer Soyuz dp (blue + silver).

As embellishment I used a ribbon and made a double bow and put a button on top.
