Happy We're Friends!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog! Yay!

You don't need to use a Di's Digi image or even a digital stamp to enter the challenge though, as long as you follow the theme. You can find more about the rules and requirements on the challenge blog.

The challenge that started today is....

"Lots of Layers"

Here is a look at the project that I created:

How cute is that little bear looking up at his caterpillar friend? 

I used some papers that I've had in my stash for a few years from Elle's Studio to create the layers on my card front. I took 3 different patterns and die cut them out with a stitched rectangle die. Next, I trimmed them down to varying widths and layered them on top of each other. I used a border punch to create a little pink scallop to act as a divider between the polka dot and graph paper. I added some crochet thread before popping up the patterned paper layer onto my card base with foam tape. I colored that sweet image, Happiness Is A Beary Daisy*, with my Copic markers and trimmed it down. I distressed the outside perimeter to give just a little bit of visual interest and adhered it to my card front. I finished my card by popping up my sentiment strip with more foam tape and adding a little bow onto my thread. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, R00, R20--

--Shirt: R81, R85--

--Flower: YG25, YG17, Y11, Y15, Y18, C0, C1--

--Caterpillar: G21, YG61--

I would like to play along with the following challenges:
