Okay…I think this one ended up being my favorite of the cards I made with this set!  This is a little 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 card but I thought it was just perfect with this image!

Here’s the details…stamped the bear with StazOn JetBlack ink and watercolored (and used markers on this one).  Punched out using the 1 1/4” circle punch and layered unto a 1 3/8” Real Red circle.  This is on a Bashful Blue scallop circle with the petal pierced.  I took a piece of Basic Grey and pierced around the edges of it.  Layered the scallop bear on it and then stamped the balloon on a piece of Real Red, cut it out and layered it on top.  The base of the card is Real Red.  I took some of the Crushed Curry dsp and the Striped dsp from the Cool Kids SS kit and layered it onto a piece of Basic Grey cardstock.  I took a piece of the 1” Stitched Bashful Blue ribbon, did the pointy thing to one end, added a Real Red brad to hold it in place and then wrapped the left side behind the layer before adding it to the card front.  I added the bear layer (using dimensionals) I had made then stamped the greeting using Basic Grey ink.  Oh…I think this was a sketch challenge that I did awhile back but it was too long ago for me to remember whose it was!  Sorry!

So there you have it…my bear series!  What fun I had with these!  Just a reminder…the Control Freaks blog hop is the 20th of every month!  It will be here before you know it!  Until next time…happy stampin’!
