Beary Big Hugs for Valentine's Day

The new Elisabeth Bell stamps from Belles 'n Whistles are gorgeous!  One of my favorite stamps is Beary Big Hugs which I've used for the colour challenge at Roses on Paper this week.  I have combined the ROP challenge with the recipe challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar and the challenge at Friday Sketchers.

The shading technique used on this card is feather blending which is the current challenge at Copic Creations.  The technique takes practice which is why I will be posting a couple more cards using this technique later today and tomorrow.  The recipe at A Spoon Full of Sugar included one patterned paper, one embossed (pink layer is embossed with D'vine Swirls folder), one ribbon (I've cut it in half to use on top and bottom of card), and one button (which is on her headband).

Beary Big Hugs will also be entered into the challenges at Dutch Dare Challenge (Valentine's Day), Cute Card Thursday (In the Name of Love), Creative Card Crew (Valentines), Simon Says Challenge (Love), and Everybody Art (Valentine). 

Don't forget there is one more day to enter the sketch challenge at Paper Sundaes!  Random winner to receive a couple copic markers and their choice of PaperWorks Co. animals and sentiments set!

Thank you for looking!  I'll be back later with an entry for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge blog.  Their new release is out tomorrow - Aye!!!
