I created this card in honor of this week's Queen Carol (aka Gingerbeary. Carol's gallery is awesome, and she is one of my favorite stampers - so I was a little intimidated picking out a card of hers that I was brave enough to case. So I have to say, I tried to pick out something simple enough that I could possibly do her justice
That being said, Carol LOVES Teddy Bears, and I needed a baby card - soooooo this is my card to honor Queen Carol. The card of hers I chose to case was:
The card is for a DF of mine who is adopting. The baby is due in August (around the 15th), and they do not know what sex the baby is - so I made a generic card. The digital image is from Designed2Delight Digi Stamps and colored with Copics. I added button brads in the corners, and stamped in orange behind the bear with SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds. Sure hope my DF likes it - and a special thanks to Carol for the inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by, and let me know what you think I appreciate it.

OH MY GOSH look at this bear!!!! He is so adorable and colored so it looks like his fur is soft as silk!!! What a beautiful card. That bear has melted my heart he is just so sweet. The colors are so well coordinated and the buttons are charming. Thank you so much Barbie for participating in the challenge. I really appreciate it so very much. How thoughtful of you to do a bear in my honor-it touched my heart. It is splendid.
