Lili's Little Fairies- Christmas card for boys

Hi there again!  It's challenge day at


and since I am a happy new fairy, I had to come up with a Christmas Card for a Boy. That was not such an easy one for me as I had to choose between 2 stamps which actually followed the theme. I went for these cute bears, I really love this stamp.




If you think this was an easy card to make- as it appears- believe me, it wasn't:) It took me ages- more than an hour- to knit that scarf:)). I used to crochet a bit in the past but definitely lost my touch. I won't do that soon enough...lol. I just felt this was the right embellishing for my card, I think it turned out nice.


Ingredients:
Stamp: Lili of the Valley- Collecting the Tree
DP: a mixture of Christmas papers- no idea which brands:(
Coloring medium: copics/promarkers
Embellishments: hand knitted scarf, charm fro Bunny Zoe, button from stash
Die-cuts; Marianne Design snowflake, nestabilities- label 3
Sentiment: Lili of the Valley

Challenges:
Divas by Design -Texture, Anything Goes Challenge -Animals, Paperminutes -Sewing, crocheting, knitting, Tuesday Throwdown - Cute & Cuddly, Cards For Men - Animals, Created With Love - Christmas, Incy Wincy Designs - Bears , Stamp and Create - Winter Wonderland, Gingerloft - Stitching (Real or Faux), 

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop here.



Thank you so much for your comments, look forward to see your Christmas card for boys! I surely need some inspiration on this one too!

Hugs,
