Raindrop Echo Designs: Christmas in July

Wow, there are a lot of Christmas challenges going on! This card is for the ones that I know of, but I'm sure there are plenty of others. This card is pretty simple, but the embossing on the kraft paper turned out really nice! I love how it looked and I'll probably try to use kraft paper a little more often. The image did take a while to color, though, but that's probably because I'm running out of the shade of brown that I used on the bears. Oh no! That's what I usually color the hair of all my stamps with! Hopefully I will get my new Copics soon :D

This card is for a few challenges (but really, just two different ones, lol):

IC Sketches - ICS #25 - I flipped the sketch CW 90 degrees
If the Shoe Fits...Scrap it! - Christmas Card
Cute Card Thursday - Challenge #69 Christmas in July
Three Clovers - Challenge #22 Christmas in July
High Hopes - Challenge #40 Christmas in July
Cupcake Craft - Challenge #49 A Christmas Card
