A teddy for Holli.....

The day I flew to India my little great-niece Holli had her 4th birthday. I made her a teddy bear birthday card using this cute fairy bear. The bear body was cut from textured cardstock, and I added some small googly-eyes and eyelashes for a realistic effect. The clothes were cut from glittercard and the crown and wand from silver mirri. The wings were cut from spotted, glittered vellum from Papermania. The card base is an 8" square offset gatefold, and the papers are Dovecraft. The bear was adhered with foam pads to a central panel on the front of the card, along with the '4' and 'today' cut from pink glittercard. The '4' was adhered with foam pads and 'today' was adhered flat. 'Holli' cut from more pink glittercard was adhered vertically to the right hand narrow gatefold panel with foam pads.
A smattering of punched, glittery hearts completes the card.
