Just us Girls and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

It is Trend Week and as you can see the challenge is Chalkboard.  I wanted to use this cute bear that I am pretty sure I got from Whipper Snapper Designs and I thought the chalkboard effect would be interesting.  I really like how it turn out.

I made it a Christmas scene, by  stamping a gift,  from  GKD, Just a Little Something.  Die cut a cardinal on top.  He is stamped in White GKD ink on to Christmas Pine CS.  I used a design from Warm Woolen Mittens to stamp the design on the white card base. 

Here is my card

 
On the vellum strip, I printed the word Beary with a Versamark pen and heat embossed with platinum powder.  A wooden snowflake with a silver bead was add to secure the strip.  I found that I could use a double sticky tape to secure the other end of the vellum without it showing. 
I think that I will make him into another card and he will be a pull out ornament. Or maybe a tag.... oh the possibilities!
 
I am entering this card in the Just Us Girls  #266 Trend Week and
Simon Says Wednesday, Thinking of you.
