Joan's Weekly Challenge #11 Animal Winter Theme

Good Morning Ladies,
I was up early as usual. Ah yes....creating in the quiet of the morning hours. Fresh eyes, fresh mind. Of course I try my hardest to always do http://www.atjoansgardens.com/2011/11/this-weeks-challenge_17.html
This weeks challenge is Joan's Weekly Challenge #11 Animal Winter Theme
The requirements are:
Make a card or tag using some kind of animal
Create a winter scene
Use some kind of embossing
Use a die
Here is my card take on the challenge

 

My use of embossing is dry embossing on the white piece, snowflakes with a sizzix embossing folder. I also gold embossed the word peace. My dies are a spellbinders die that I embossed peace on and the evergreen tree is a spellbinders die. The bear is from a cricut that someone gave to me knowing I would use it. There is a small glitter star on top of the evergreen. I created the snow using snow tex and diamond dust. The card base is from old stash. The cuts were already made in it, I just had to do the folding. I do believe there is a template somewhere for this design. Maybe paper wishes. Thanks again Joan and Selma for the fun challenge.

Oh yes, and next to work on a tag!

Happy Scraps,

Mrs. Swandog
