I made a clean and simple one-layer card for my niece's 6th birthday.
The image is an old retired Stampin' Up set called Gift Tags and the teddy and sentiment are all on one stamp. I colored the image with Prismacolor + Derwent Coloursoft pencils and Odorless 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 Kaisercolour chalk
I dragged out my CB 'With Love' embossing borders set (which I don't use often enough!) and used the flower folder underneath the image, then added some Basic Grey 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. The button is by Trimits.
