I started this card by trimming the left side of a piece of newsprint, patterned paper with a strip of polka dot, patterned paper, which I had stamped, in Baked Brown Sugar, with the quilt rings, as well as, in Jet Black ink, with the "congratulations" sentiment.
I then stamped the right edge of that same newsprint piece, in Mellow Moss ink, with the stars and anchored the prepped piece, to the Oatmeal, cardstock, card face, with moss-threaded, straight, machine stitches. I then wrapped a length of seam binding ribbon, which I had thread through a chipboard tag, around the card face, between the connection of the two prints and tied it, in a double bow, near the top edge of the card face.
Another chipboard bit was adhered, with foam tape, just below and right of center...and topped with a black-embossed, on watercolor paper, bear, which I water-colored in shades of Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, Chocolate Chip, and Pretty in Pink inks and hand-cut out. A bit of Wink of Stella, for the pink parts on the bear, completes the look.
