A True Friend (Bear and Porcupine) Card...

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  It's a hot, hot day out here in Texas!  I've been wanting to go out and window shop but every time I would think of getting into my truck after it's been parked out in the sun, it dismisses my idea of having fun shopping.  Anyway, I made a card last night and finished the envelope just a few minutes ago.   I must say, I have to deprive myself of some sleep time in order to do what I love to do...Though I'm sleepy today, I am so proud of what I've accomplished.  I used a Kraft CS base and two DP's from DCWV (Stack No. 7).  This hilarious image is from Dustin Pike Digi Stamps that I colored with my Prismacolor and ProMarkers.  I distressed around the image with  the Vintage Photo Distress Ink.   I had to find a sentiment that would best capture the image and I found one online (I didn't find the name of the author of the sentiment/quote).  For the tree, I used my Gypsy to cut this tree from the Serenade Cartridge.  I love the images in that cart...Pure awesomeness!  I used my Cuttlebug embossing for added dimension to the tree trunk and the leaves, adhered some gems and lastly, I did sewing all over this card including the panels in the envelope-box.  Although a lot of work, I totally enjoyed this project.  Hope you like it too. This card is entered into the following Challenges:

1.  Doodle Dragon Studios (Pike's Playground) featuring "Yummy in my Tummy"
2.  Whimsie Doodle featuring "Favorite Image" 
3.  Fab 'n' Funky featuring "Go Mad with Embossing"
