Happy Birthday, My Friend

Good evening crafty friends!  I'm just popping in to share a card I made for a challenge over on the My Favorite Things Blog.

This adorable birthday bear is from the Beary Special Birthday stamp set.  I used the Big Balloon Stencil and sponged the balloon with Picked Rasperry and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the balloon with water and after it dried, I added a bow and string with a black permanent pen.  I colored the bear with copics and diecut it with the coordinating Beary Special Birthday Die-namics.  I used a black glaze pen on the bear's eyes and nose and added highlights with a white gel pen.  I adhered the image and sentiment with foam tape.

Copics:

Bear - E33, E31, E30; E01, E000; E53, E51; N8

Gift/Bow - BG07, BG05, BG02, BG01; YG17, YG09, YG06

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
