A Bear and a Sketch

Good Morning

I've used the fabulous Meadow Cottage Bears cd-rom from Crafters Companion to make this card for my niece's birthday next week.  I followed the current sketch over at Willow Sketchie Challenge.

8 x 8 card blank

Checked backing paper from cd-rom printed onto satin paper.

Yellow backing paper from Making Cards Magazine

Core'dinations card embossed using Cupcakes embossing folder.

Decoupage printed onto Crafters Companion decoupage paper.

Sentiment is a stamp from Lili of the Valley sat on a mat cut using a C'Art-us die.

Number 3 created using Metal Magic (a first for me) and then stamped using a Dimension Fourth number stamp.

Black card used for all the matting.

My card is also for the following challenges:
