Hello friends and Happy Weekend! I'm back from vacationing and hope you are all doing great! The card I want to show today is made using a Teddy Bo digital stamp. Isn't this guy just adorable? I had this image colored ages ago and never came around posting  this card. I colored using Copics and Prismas. The paper I used is from my scrap box so I don't know the brand anymore. Flowers are from my stash as well as the other embellies. Not much more to say about my card though.... And don't forget Monday is Belles 'n Whistles RELEASE DAY with our ALL CUSTOMER BLOG HOP!  Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!
