Bear hugs and roses

Happy Mother's Day to all you out there, whether your children are near or far !!  I think this is THE most darling bear and it's a digital from Conie Fong.   This image is really versatile, as I can see it working for just about any occasion - like Mother's day today, or a birthday, valentine, thinking of you, etc.   My image was colored with prismas and gamsol, then I added stickles to her bow and skirt.  I think my favorite patterned papers are dots and stripes, since it doesn't detract from the image, and the stripes make for such a nice frame, as you can see here.  The hearts and foliage I've used here are diecuts,  and the ferns added to it are done with a punch.
The heart center is a 3-D embellishment and I've attached a small white bow beneath it.   The larger bow was pre-tied for me by my BFF (thanks SO much !!) and the bear is a button, of which I cut the back shank off of.    I really like how this card's turned out and I hope you do, too -- please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

    Can I borrow your idea about putting a little bow under that heart? I really like that and the touch it gives the die cut. This card is one of the prettiest I've seen during my cruise today. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and GIRLY, and I love girly. The die cut ferns and swirls are fabulous in white with the darker flowers. This card jumped right off the page to me. The bow with the teddy bear button is gorgeous in that corner! This is just beautiful, Lillian, absolutely gorgeous.
