Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a fabulous line of cuddly bear images featuring Billie Bear and Baby Billie that can be used on current day projects to share loving thoughts and wishes.  I've used the newly released digital image named Baby Billie's Blocks on a gift card for a baby boy.

This view shows my Copic-filled image.  I used the Nasty Rag Technique to add Billie's furry texture. Inkssentials Enamel Accents in black adds lively dimension to Billie's eyes.

Layers of Bazzill pastel-colored cardstock are bordered with faux stitching and Best Creation's Sweet Baby glitter double-sided patterned paper to form my card.  A Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Loops Heart edge punch adds a loving border above and below my image.  Provo Craft's Paper Shapers Deckle-edge scissors add some texture to a matting behind the image.  An EK Success Paper Shapers Photo Corner Scallop punch is topped with a Stampendous Class A'Peels Victorian Borders Gold sticker.

 

The "New Baby" Magnolia Stamps text is surrounded by more of the Class A'Peels gold border stickers.

 

A Satin Sensations 5/8" Island Blue ribbon border and bow adds bright color while a Prima's pearl centered blue layered daisy, Recollections dark blue Mulberry Paper Roses and small light blue roses are set above a Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourish diecut.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Ladybug Crafts Ink Baby Billie's Blocks . . .

The inside includes one of my favorite stamped sentiments from Rubber Cottage called "Every Child" . . .
