My cute little bear is wishing someone a sweet day! I embossed him using VersaFine Onyx and Clear EP and then colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The sentiment and star are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. The star is colored in with a Spica Glitter pen.
I sewed around my main panel using white thread (should have used black!) and a fancy stitch.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Come play along HERE.

Wow! What a beautiful card! I just adore the lil bear dressed as a bee! Too cute! I also like the flower. I like to make card candy from old books too.

LOL, having just heaped up some hot lemon with honey this image really made me smile - what a sweetie! And how happy and bright, too. Love the idea of using zig-zag stitching with the chevron paper.

Cute, cute, cute. I love all the extras - little tag with bow, button and flower. One of my favorite color combos. I have wanted to try stitching on cards, so this challenge has inspired me. Very nice card. Love it!

What an adorable card, Judy. I've had a brand new sewing box still in the box for about 10 years now...that's how much I sew! This is gonna be a real challenge!
That little bee-bear is adorable and your attention to detail on this adorable card is unsurpassed!

So many things to love about this card! That bee is adorable and I love the layout of the card and the papers you used. The stitching is cool ......not too many opportunities to use fancy stitches with my machine anymore. Love the newsprint flower too!
