Christmas post

I love getting stuff in the mail, especially at Christmas time.  I think it's sad that people email greetings now instead of taking the care to send something special to light up someone's day.  And these little friends are so cute...
I used an embossed background postcard pattern, spritzed with gold spray and swished with gold ink and sprinkled with some gold embossing powder.  The image is coloured with Reno pens, teddy's hat has Wink of Stella on the fur.  The image has a gold border made with a pen, then a cut stamp style edge cut with decorative scissors.  Sentiment is gold embossed.
