b is for bear

break out your bear images for the "b is for bear" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad.  our challenge sponsor is stitchy bear stamps; they provided some cute digital images for the DT to work with and they will provide a prize to the randomly selected entrant to the challenge! i made a card with one of the images from dusty bear, suitable for valentine's day...

i colored the digital image with pencils and outlined with an ink pen. i used a variety of patterned papers for the background and punched hearts out of the same designer papers.  i also added some borders to decorate the corners.   i hope you'll make something featuring a bear and then join the challenge!

i'm linking this up to crafty hazelnut's patterned paper challenge which requires that your creation be covered with patterned papers which i have definitely done here!

love to all.
