you're beary special to me

Good morning everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond and the theme this time is Paper Piecing

I decided to make a masculine 'love' card with my new Big Bear stamp and die set from Reverse Confetti... what a fun stamp set to play with and I love how the bear hands are cut so he can hold items! :) 
The images are colored with Copics and I paper pieced the scarfs, letter and two hearts. The background was created with Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink and Simon Says Stamp Grid stencil. I used My Favorite Things dies for the pierced fishtail flags & stitched circle, Simon Says Stamp dies for the hearts and a Avery Elle die for the stitched rectangle.

 Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful paper pieced creations!
