Birthday Bear

Inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I've made my husbands birthday card, coloured with a twist of Halloween colours.


I've used MFT Birthday Bears stamps/dies and Happy Birthday die all coloured with alcohol markers.  


A little bit of sparkle was added to the bows and the husband is from a stamp set by Clearly Besotted with matching dies (retired now).
