This is for today's Twisted Sister Challenge to make a birthday card with sparkle and no pink. Image is Shy Bear birthday Bear from Squigglefly. Colored with Copic markers. Added glitter to the hat and the scallops on the sentiment.
The designer paper is folded to create a pocket that can hold a gift card or small gift, or in this case a surprise message on the inside of the card. Here's a tutorial I made for making the pocket and the insert

How sweet is this super shy Bear? I am surprised he even showed up at the party - that's why he is hiding behind the box, I guess. You did a great job on the coloring and I am intrigued by the card folding - can't wait till you share it with us! Love the bright, cheerful colors on here and LOVE THAT SPARKLE!!

Fun card! Cute bear with the sparkly hat and that pocket idea is super smart. What a treat to get this card and then if there was a gift card in it too that would be total icing on the cake. Fun, fun, fun!
