Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using a cute little bear from Penny Black Stamps.
This image is from the 'Space Reserved' stamp set, and although I used it for a birthday card, it certainly could be used for just about any occasion.
There are several cute bears in this set ~ I really had a hard time deciding on which one to use. But this one was perfect for letting a friend know there is always a space reserved beside me!
After stamping the image on Neenah 110# card stock, I used my Copic markers for coloring. I used Distressed Oxides (Broken China and Spun Sugar) and my cloud stencil to make the background clouds. I die cut the image and the solid blue paper using Pink & Main's Cloudy Frame die. This gave me the perfect fit for the image inside the frame die. After the clouds, I put the image back in my Misti and added the sentiment ~ Today is all about you! ~ from Penny Black's Sparkles & Smiles sentiment package.
I used a lavender 5 1/2" square card base and cut the polka dotted paper 5 1/4" square. You'll notice on this layout I laid the ribbon under the mat (on top of the card base), then glued the mat piece down. This step is just a matter of preference verses including the card base. Next I secured the image and frame to the base, then tied the ribbon bow.
I’ll be entering
this card in the following challenges:
