CAS Watercolour July Challenge - happy bear-day

This month's CAS Watercolur Challenge is hosted by Susan and she chose Bouquet of Flowers as the challenge.

It's Bonnie's birthday today and I made this card for her. Happy birthday, my sweet friend!

[How I made this card]
1. Stamped the images, die-cut them, and watercolored with distress inks.
2. Die-cut the front panel, made/die-cut a window, and black heat-embossed the sentiment.
3. Painted a graduated wash on a piece of square watercolor paper in light blue and sprayed shimmer mist over it.
4. Glued the watercolored sky panel behind the window, arranged the bear with a bouquet of flowers in the corner of the window, and popped up the front panel with craft foam.

This is my favorite bear stamp and die set and I hope Bonnie likes the card too.

Thanks for visiting me today!
