Your Next Stamp YNS revisits Little Bear Bouquet

It’s time for another Your Next Stamp Fun Friday challenge!

Let's see i used this adorable image called Little Bear Bouquet back in January and he is ready to share his bunch of flowers again and this time for that someone special..it could be a Mother's Day card or for a that special Birthday!


Here’s my project using Little Bear Bouquet from the YNS store:

 He is super cute and it's not to hard to make this card..you just need some double sided paper that you like..and cut it right in the middle horizontally and pull back the sides carefully and use some brads to secure the edges.  Before you attach this pulled back section, i put some matching paper on top of the card w/some paper lace.   I did ink distress the edges. When you put the folded section on top of the card i only taped the 3 sides so that i could tuck my image in the opening. i did use foam tap and glue dots to secure him.  The sentiment is from Digital Delights.

Copics used:
bear- E50, 53, 55, 57
flowers- R81, 83, 85
leaves- YG03, 17, 67, Y19
