Card Design: Pattie's Creations Challenge #129...Anything Goes Christmas or Winter

Hello to you all! I'm here today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #129, the theme is Anything Goes Christmas or Winter. Can you believe that we've just one month left in this year?!  Another year that has seemingly zipped by. As we get ready for the holidays, now is the perfect time to get any last minute Christmas cards or other winter type cards created.

Here is my card, I hope that I haven't forgotten any important details:

General Info:

• This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). I will print it out and assemble it a later date.

FRONT

Digital Image Details:

• Pattieboops Holiday Bear: A rather adorable image perfect for my hubby's Christmas card. You can find it in Pattie's Etsy shop by clicking on the image name or watermark linked below.

• Coloured digitally. Credits include:
• Bear is paper pieced with a fur texture from My Free Textures
• Wooden shelf background is from FW Studio
• I have used four different layer styles (hat, ribbon) from HG Designs
• The background in behind the image is a digi paper from the Christmas Confections kit created by Correen Silke available at {Computer}Scrapbook.com. It has been recoloured to suit the purposes of this card.
• The little heart patch on the paw is from Point and Poem. It was obtained in a limited time bundle from Design Cuts.

Digital Embellishments:

• The beads are from the Christmas Confections kit mentioned above and the brads are from the Tis the Season kit created by Jeanine Baechtold, also available at {Computer}Scrapbook.com.

Digital Sentiment Details:

• The sentiment was created by Kristy from Imagine That! Digistamp. It is included in the Beary Merry Christmas kit and you can find it in the store by clicking HERE.

 

INSIDE

Digital Image Details:

• Christmas Lights: This string of lights was the perfect set up for the sentiment. It can also be found in Pattie's Etsy shop by clicking on the name or watermark linked below. 
• The image was coloured digitally.

Digital Sentiment Details:

• The sentiment was created by Paulette from Create with TLC. For great freebies and inspiration be sure to click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and for awesome sets for purchase, click HERE to go to the home page of the store.

OVERALL
Digital Paper Products:

• I have used one of my digi papers for the background on the front and inside from the kit called "The 12 Days of Christmas 2014".

Digital Embellishments:

• I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the image and the sentiment. 
• I have applied shadow layer styles to give certain elements some depth. These styles were designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
