Blast from the Past Time!

Good Morning!

I can't believe this is already Wednesday....where has the week gone?!

It is also the 11th Blast from the Past Blog Hop, by Taylored Expressions.  There has been a BFTP Blog Hop for almost a year now....crazy!

This month, not only did we get an awesome sketch from Sankari, but Taylor also challenged us to "make it masculine".

I started by stamping this adorable bear, from Beary Special.  Then, I added the balloon from Beary Special Accessories.  I coloured everything with my copics, then paper pieced the ears, feet and belly of the bear.  I added a few coats of Clear Glaze to the balloon to give it a little bit of shine.

The sketch isn't completely how it was shown, but the basic concept is there!  The papers are from MME Fine & Dandy True Blue.  I have also used lots of Kraft paper, making this a sweet little card for Jeanie's That's Krafty Thursday #51.

To finish the card off, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment (from Make a Wish), cut it out, and mounted it on top of a star that was die-cut using the MFT Stacking Stars Die-namic.  I added three square brads from MME, and that's it!

Enjoy!  Make sure you hop along to all the participant's blogs to see their great creations!  There is a list of all the hoppers at the bottom of this post!
