The sentiment stamp is from Whimsy Stamps and the snowflake dies are by Sizzix. I love blue paper when using stamps with snow and these 2 papers were purchased at a local craft store. My dear friend, Vivi, sent me some adorable rhinestone buckles..and this one has clear rhinestones. I colored James with Copics and I can't live without my Stickles on the edges of the snowflakes, on the snow and around the edge of the sentiment stamp. Here's a close-up of James.
There are lots of cute teddy bear stamps at LOTV and many James the Bear stamps! Thanks for looking at my blog, and leave a message if you'd like me to visit your blog!

I think teddies can be quite tricky to color myself, but you did a great job with this one! A lovely design with a wintery feel with your choice of colors, papers and embellishments!

I just love James bear and can't believe I don't have any stamps with him in my collection - think I will have to do something about that! Your card is lovely - the frosty blue and snowflakes are perfect with the image :-)
