BUGABOO STAMPS - FREEBIE FRIDAY

The adorable image on my card is Summer Butterfly Bear - Beach and it's this week's freebie from Bugaboo Stamps.

To create my card I coloured the image with alcohol markers and a white gel pen, and added some Stickles.

The bg paper is digital and printed, then matted on a red cs base.
My sentiment is a metallic peel off, recoloured with an alcohol marker.  I also added a red ribbon and bow.
