Greg's Birthday card

 Hi all!  Gosh, Sunday evening already!  It was a bit of a dark damp old day today, not one to inspire you to go anywhere!  So I busied myself instead and got ahead of the game with Greg's Birthday card.  This adorable bear is from a set I bought from Creative Depot last month, destined to be 2023's Christmas cards, but I reckoned the bear would be fine for a birthday.

I got my scraps out for this one - I love all my MFT paper packs and always end up keeping end bits as they're too nice to chuck ...


I found a couple of little silver stars on my table (I mustn't have cleared it since Christmas LOL) so I stuck them on to use them up.  Some blue and green splatters with my metallic paints, and a bit of cord to finish.  Sentiment is from a Penny Black set.  I absolutely love how this turned out, I have sorely missed my mojo for such a long time that it is nice to make 2 cards in a row that I am pleased with!!
