I've made a card for my Nephew's birthday using HM&Friends 'Gruffies' Bearytastic Day' stamp set.

I've colored with Promarkers and used my Letraset fine liner to doodle around the edges of the image and sentiment. Punched a border from Coredinations  CS using my MS combo rings punch and added a piece of Basic Grey's 'Serenade paper, layered my image onto some Centura Pearl textured paper and finished off with some cardcandy.
