This card was made for today's Color Challenge. I had this bear image out from yesterday, when I thought I would use him on my card for the FS Challenge, but I used a dog instead. So I decided to do another tribute to Jenn with today's card. Here is my inspiration:
My image did not have a heart, but I added hearts elsewhere with the greeting and the embossed and sanded background strip. I had had this stamp for decades and it still makes me smile with delight. It is so cold here that I needed to do tulips to encourage Spring! I added dessert with some half pearls that I colored with my Copic markers.

Truly an endearing card for a mother, Kathy. The darling image which is colored so beautifully and with such texture on your teddy bear. Lovely layout and combination of DPs.
