MFT Sketch 241

Good morning!  I'm playing along with another sketch challenge this week, My Favortie Things!  This sketch was super fun and I had a great time coloring and cutting to make my card.  I hope you like it!  First, here's a look at the sketch.

I knew I was in the mood to color so I grabbed my BB Birthday Bears stamp set and got to work.  I stamped my sweet little bear in Kraft hybrid ink so his outline wouldn't be so noticeable when I colored him.  Here's what I did with him after coloring.

    

I took this fun navy patterned paper and made a window using the  Die-namics Birthday Centerpieces die.  I put a piece of mind paper behind my cut to make the sentiment standout.  I added a gold circle I had lying on my desk to the center for a little shine then placed my cute bear at the bottom.  I started cutting balloons using the Die-namics Balloon STAX to use around my card but changed my mind and went with chipboard glitter hearts.  I made the largest heart a balloon by handcutting a string from some gold paper.  I stamped a sentiment from BB Birthday Bears stamp set on a strip of vellum and added it behind my bear.  To finish it off, I added some gold enamel dots here and there.  

Thanks for checking out my card!  I hope you have a great day.
