Cool Yule with MFT and basic grey

Hey everyone 

I am starting to get my Christmas card started and I found a bunch of challenges that fired me up!!

Here is my card....

I used paper from basic grey that has been in my stash for ever!!!  Lol. More like since 2010 since that is the date on the paper.  I also used MFT "cool Yule". The tag and snowflakes were cut out with the artbooking cartridge.   Seriously I don't think I used any other carts at all!!

Here are some close ups...

The bling and ribbon from my stash

The merry Christmas banner at the bottom is an old CTMH stamp

I paper pieced the bear, ice, scarf, and ice cube.   Added stickles to the cube and snowflake stamps to the scarf and used an old embossing rub on thing for the snow flake background
