Hi there!

Today I’m sharing a card I made using one of my favorite Simon Says Stamp sets, “Celebrating You”!  I absolutely love all the little critters in this set!  I made this card with the baby dragon, and this card with the little piggy when the set was first released in May.  I love to go back to it whenever there’s a kid’s birthday coming up, but honestly, even many of my adult’s love getting cards with cute critters!  

I used a very simple layout for this card so that the bear could take center stage – just an ink-blended semi-circle and a sentiment, with the bear popped up in the center and a few gems.  

I colored the bear with my Copic markers – which is still one of my all-time favorite ways to color an image.

I hope you like this card and that it inspires you to go back in your stash and pull out an old favorite!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
