Honey Bee Stamps is the sponsor today, I didn't have any of their stamps, so I just had to a little shopping!!! 

I started by stamping the bear and two snowmen, along with some hats, ear muffs, and scarfs. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them all up. I used BG1, BG6, BG7, DR5, DR6, IG1, IG2, JG5, JG6, OR1, OR2. I fussy cut everything and then glued down the hats and scarfs to the bear and snowmen.

Next, I used a Simon Says Stamp Holiday Frames die and cut it from black cardstock. I adhere all three images together, making sure they would fit inside the frame. While my adhesive was drying I wrapped some black twine around the frame and tied it in a bow. 

I found some red and snowflake foiled pattern paper and added it to a white card base. I adhered the frame over the bear and snowmen so it looked like they were a part of the photo frame, then I added it to the card with foam tape.
