FS511 - hello there

I found out that Christine Alexander (It's a Card Day's Night) was a Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers this week. She is on the Design Team of CAS Watercolour Challenge, which I love. So I wanted to celebrate her by joining the challenge FS511.

After enjoying her lovely SCS gallery for a while, I decided to CASE this card. I have the same stamp set, and a similar die to what she used for the card.

 
And here's my card:

As you can see, I kept her basic layout and used the same bear stamp.
Christine used a Bubble Breeze die, and I used a Heart Breeze die. The sentiment stamp is different and I placed it on the right side.

I've been wanting to use this color combination from Design Seeds since I saw it last week. So I used it for my card today.

I pasted strips of cardstock in shades of red and purple behind the negatives of the die-cuts. 

Thanks for the inspiration, Christine!
