you are bearly loved

Hi, everyone! Hope the weekend is going well.

                                

I'm here today to share a card inspired by the current Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. This month, the challenge is a photo inspiration. 

I've been busy making cards for kids at children's hospitals to give to moms, grandmoms, and other special ladies in their lives.

• When I saw the tulips shown in the photo below, there was one Paper Smooches stamp set that immediately came to mind. I thought this sweet little bear would be perfect for one of these mom/grandmom/special-lady cards. 
• Doesn't she/he remind you of a child offering a single tulip of love to a mom or grandma?! 
• Since the tulips have pinkish, purplish look, I went with shades of pink for our little one's flower.
