Today is a good day to be happy! We just moved Louisa and her mommy and daddy back to Wichita!!! Now it will be so much easier (and cheaper). Just a two hour drive as opposed to waiting at the airport, flying to Denver, taking a train and then an uber for a total of about 4 to 5 hours depending on traffic. I AM THRILLED.
Just finished up this card with that adorable bear featuring the Spotlight Technique. I ran a circle die through my machine on a plain sheet of cardstock, laid that over my stamped picture and just colored within the circle with my copics. What a cool technique!
Created a little tag to match the bear's basket and popped that on with some pretty twine.
You can just see the back of the decorated envelope in the first pic. I think this is a cute and easy way to tie the envelope to the card inside.
When I finished up the Spotlight card, I remembered that I also had this cute bear couple waiting around for me. I also have a bunch of string-tie envelopes that I rediscovered during the major upheaval to turn my craft room into a nursery. Or a least, get enough room to have a crib in there.
I created a piece of stationery to go along with the bears and a sentiment too. Then I duplicated the little flower bouquet to use on the front. Got lucky that I remembered that cute little bear stamp and colored it to match the little teddy the girl bear is holding.
