I made this simple card using a Penny Johnson Stampavie image called Bear Flowers. I used my watercolor pencils, a bit of ribbon, and a few stickles. It’s a small A2 size card that refused to photograph well, sorry.
I followed this weeks sketch at Midnight Madness and Stampavie’s challenge is Spring.
Also, I have a confession to make. I’m on project #25 of the “use my stash” challenge (one project I didn’t photograph or post) and this week I purchased a few things. I ran across a listing on e-bay for 100 unmounted High Hopes sentiment (one of my top two favorite rubber stamp companies). How could I pass that up?? I won them for $16.50! I think they should be in the mailbox today. I can’t wait!! And then yesterday I was on the hunt for pink polka dots for a few Minnie Invitation orders. It took me five craft stores to finally find one that worked. Have you ever gone into five scrapbook stores after depriving yourself of any crafting goodness for months? Hauling two children? I was exhausted! I’m proud to say I only faltered some patterned paper and a few ink pads worth. My patterned paper and card stock stashes are getting dangerously low. Anyway, I’m back on the wagon and will finish my next 25 projects from my stash (quickly, I hope).

This is the sweetest card ever. I just want to hug the little bear. Great coloring, and that hardware is so pretty with the ribbon. Thank you so much for playing with us at the MMSC this week! Hope you will play again.

Welcome to Midnight Madness. I think the card looks great, and WOW what a score on those unmounted High Hopes stamps, you did very well! Your card is so springy, what a pleasure that is – fog and rainy here right now. Love the red ribbon and the colors you used.
Adorable bear! I love that ribbon slide too!
