Sending You a Big Hug

This morning I am posting with the Classic Design Challenge Blog as we open the January/February 2026.  We are off to a great start with Patties Creations as our sponsor and an optional twist of 'Use Circles".  

I selected Patties 'Bear Love With Balloons' for my Design Team card.

 

He was a fun image to color with my Copic markers and will work for several different occasions even though I made this one for a special birthday.  I used Pink & Main Stitched Rectangle dies for the edges on the completed image and peach matting then attached them to the dark brown cardstock card base. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions, Sentiment Strips Background, and is raised with a foam strip on the navy strip, then added to the bottom of the card.  Lastly I added three blue/green circle dots in the upper right corner to add a little bling to the card design.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been working on.  I hope you will now pop over to the Classic Design Challenge and view the other Design Team card and also enter your card on the our Classic Design Challenge.
