Baby Bear

After seeing all the "New Beginnings" challenges around at the moment, and having several pregnant friends, I decided to make a baby card to pop aside for a new arrival.
The adorable image is from Pink Gem and has been coloured with my ever faithful Promarkers.  After colouring, I added a border of Aqua Stickles to the edge of the topper.
The patterned papers are all Marianne Eline's Nursery, to which I've added blue Core'dinations and kraft.  I also used kraft for the doily mat for the topper which I made with my new Xcut die.  I added to the shabby chic feel by distressing all the edges with my Tim Holtz Tool.
The flowers were made with Nellie Snellen and Woodware punches and I finished off with ribbon, a bow, pearls and gems.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Passion for Promarkers - #179 - new beginnings
Ready-teddy-Go - #19 - something new
A Gem of a Challenge - #62 - new beginnings
Crafty Calendar - What's new?

Totally Gorjuss - anything goes with ribbon
Crafty Ribbons - #36 - new beginnings
Stamp 'n' Doodle - new beginnings
Totally Papercrafts - #148 - something new
