I made a couple of these cards for my hubby and my father in law. The image depicts a bear fast asleep with a book open on his chest. I tell you because my husband asked if the book was a fancy bow - tie because he has never seen a book with stickles on it! ;) PT- zero -but die cuts .....
Anyway, I picked the patterned paper first , and since it had bits of orange , aqua and brown with a bit of sparkle, I used a bit of stickles on the book.
Lucky thing I had my supply of twine , and I actually came up with a " sketch" beyond my usual square with a circle, or rectangle matted a million times!!!
Thanks for looking!

I think I'll have to get me some bears! All I ever come up with is sail boats and light houses for father's day. :-) Love your sleeping bear and the wonderful colour palette too. Beautiful card!

This is just too cute! My dad would always fall asleep on his recliner with the paper over his belly like that. It made me smile remembering him like that.
