If you have just hopped here from Brandy at Canadian Scrapper's , welcome. If not, you can start here as this is a circular hop. .. now on to our hop! 

One stamp set

One  card layout






Tweaked three different ways. 




All of the cards used the pieces below. By changing out the colonial white cardstock for some of the B&T paper from the NEW Frosted paper pack and moving the piece around and tweaking the embellishments, it was easy to come up with four different card.



Supplies
Z1686   Art Philosophy Cartridge
3174     Blending Pen (I used the blending pen to color the bear, pulling the color in from the stamped image)
3505     Watercolor Pencils (I used the True Teal to color the bows)
A1143  Teddy Bear Birthday 
Z2114  Cocoa Ink pad
Y1006 Acrylix block
Z1617  |Chocolate striped ribbon
Z1701  Baker's twine

Now off to Ashley's
