Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A sweet friend sent me a stamping(s) of this sweet bear and I had him all
colored up and waiting for a home.
When I saw the Inspired By Challenge last week, I knew it was the
perfect time to pull him out. So let's Cele-bear-ate!
I was inspired by the bear, his hat and the stripes.
I chose a birthday hat because I knew it would work well for a birthday card.
My stripes are in some patterned paper.
The bear was colored with Copics and the hat with markers
I thought the hat needed a little more somethin' and I uses a scalloped
diamond die to cut some "ruffles".
It was fun working with this guy and he made me smile all afternoon.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Your bear is so cute with the birthday hat with “ruffles”, Bonnie! He makes me smile. :-)
You did a fantastic job of Copics coloring. The bear’s hair looks so soft and smooth with wonderful shading. The way you incorporated the strips in the card is so clever!
