Stampin' Up - Gift Tags - a teddy bear birthday card for my niece


Hi blogging friends Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net 

I made a clean and simple one-layer card for my niece's 6th birthday.  Not much to explain really.  I coloured the image with Prismacolor + Derwent Coloursoft pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits (Gamsol Magic technique) then added some Kindyglitz Crystalina to the ribbon and heart on the teddy plus the present.  I lightly chalked around the image with blue chalk.  Here is a wee close-up:



I dragged out my Cuttlebug 'With Love' embossing borders set (which I don't use often enough!) and used the flower folder underneath the image, then added some pink rhinestones to the flower centres. 

There is a Scor-pal line underneath the ribbon, under the image and above the pink cardstock punched border.  The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.  I sewed through the button holes then glued the button to the ribbon. 

Quick, simple and easy-peasy.

I am entering this card in the following challenges -
