Today is my MIL's birthday, and I thought I'd share the card I made for her.
I was the lucky winner of this adorable Teddy with Flowers image by Crafty Sentiments two weeks ago on the Crafty Sentiments challenge blog. It arrived yesterday, so I couldn't resist inking him up. Isn't he sweet? My in-laws live way out in the country, and often have bears come to visit, so I thought he would be perfect for her card.
I colored him with copic markers, and added some stickles to the flowers for a little sparkle. The pretty paper is For Peeps Sake - Pretty New Dress by Imaginisce. I've been hoarding it since last spring, and it kills me to cut into it - it's just so pretty!
The rose and leaves were airbrushed with the copic ABS, and also got the stickles treatment. LOL. The sentiment on the side of the image, "birthday wishes..." was hand written using a copic .01 multiliner pen.
Copics used:

Melissa, your Mother-in-law is one lucky lady. I hope someday when I have a daughter-in-law that she will make me a bear card as I just LOVE bears...I collect them. So you see this card is a real treat for me. The bear is just so sweet and adorable. Terrific job! Thanks for playing along with us in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week.

Hi Melissa,
What an adorble card - happy birthday to your MIL!
I just discovered your blog after reading your comment on Tara's birthday blog post (so how ironic that the first post of yours is also birthday-related!) I HAD to visit you after you mentioned that Kentucky Butter Rum Cake in the comments! By chance, do you have a recipe that you would be willing to share for that? It sounds utterly delicious and I would LOVE to give that a try!
I have signed up to follow your wonderful blog and would be delighted to welcome you into my family of Kindred Spirits at Create With Joy as well!
Hugs
