I've found that I enjoy coloring teddy bears. This card is just another in a group that I have created over the past few weeks.
CARD (5.5” x 5.5” square)
Front Image: Teddy bear
Front Sentiment: none
Inside Sentiment: “Happy Birthday”
I created the base card from pastel pink cardstock and layered it with dark pink paper. To add interest to the card I affixed panels of designer paper displaying shimmering roses. I affixed a piece of pink grosgrain ribbon over the top edges of the rose panels.
For the focal point of the card I stamped an adorable teddy bear on a round of white cardstock and hand colored it with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I sponged ink around the teddy bear to coordinate with the card background and matted the image on light pink cardstock. Teddy is popped from the surface of the card face for extra dimension.
To add that extra touch of pizzazz I attached a pink grosgrain ribbon bow and 3 buttons.
For the inside panel I printed the sentiment “Happy Birthday” on white cardstock and matted it with dark pink. I decorated it with a band of the shimmering rose paper matted with dark pink.
I also created a coordinating envelope from heavy white cover stock and printed an image of sweet Teddy in the lower left corner.
