I did a ton of layering, some hand stitching (love my Tim Holtz ruler for that), and added some fun little pale pink eyelets for ribbon and bows. You can't see it very well in the photo but her tutu is covered in Cotton Candy Stickles.
Although the sentiment is for a special soon to be birthday girl, I send it out to all of you today.

I am warning you Tracy, you should really stop creating such cuties with nice furry skins, for next thing you know it's gone from your blog, ok, at least you know it's me who put her arms inside her laptop to pick up this little sweetie to cuddle it! Aaww, it looks so soft!! Love this! Hugs, Ira x

OMG Tracy!! Where do I start? This is sooooo BEAUTIFUL! The image, the coloring, the ribbon, the flowers...OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE every single detail of this amazingly beautiful card!! Hugs, Ivonne
Ok, that's it..I'm coming over right now to squeeze this one! I've threatened it many times on your cards, but this one is a MUST. Did you use the washcloth or the flicking method? Not that it matters, it's amazing how she turned out. Her bedazzled tutu is also sensational. What a fun card Hick! You should be VERY proud of this one! :)
p.s..THIS is the message that was nearly the end of me. FINALLY, I can say, "Houston, we have lift off!"
This is one gorgeous bear ... I adore this card ...
