Birthday Bear

Have I told you how much I love THANKFUL FOREST FRIENDS??  It's such a great set with two greetings and several cute little animals, the bear being my favorite!  So, today I thought I'd show you another way of using it and made a birthday card.

Isn't this sweet!  I think this is a perfect card for someone with a fall birthday.

I kept the design pretty clean.  The sentiment from COTTAGE GREETINGS fit just right between two of the vines from THANKFUL FOREST FRIENDS.  I used markers to color them both in.  This was a great way to add color, but it also helped with the bottom vine that was part of the "Give Thanks" stamp.  I was able to isolate the portion I wanted.

The sweet bear was stamped with Soft Suede and fussy cut so I could pop him up with dimensionals.  I also added in a bit of washi tape (from Season of Cheer Designer Washi) and a couple gold sequins.  Turned out to be a simple yet very lovely fall birthday card!

I also created cards with this wonderful set for the upcoming October Mini Session from Create with Connie and Mary.  The session opens October 11th and is chock full of great holiday ideas!  This month I have a card tutorial for you with THANKFUL FOREST FRIENDS that I know you will love.  Here's a sneak peek of the 5 projects.
