LCOM, Get Sketchy & Scrap It With A Song

For some reason I feel so exhausted...I'm making this post a short & sweet one..It's a simple card I made for all three challenges above (LCOM, Get Sketchy & Scrap It With A Song).

LCOM's challenge this week is a power one where there are two reqs, an inspiration one & to make a card using any supplies over two months. I chose the latter. This mini card is made using Get Sketchy's Sketch #47 & for Scrap It With A Song we're singing to L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole.
So here's my take on all 3 challenges ladies..A simple card.


Materials Used : White Cardstock, MM PP, Felt Teddy Bear, Button, Tape, Heart Shape Punch, Moof PP

With the dino grad digi stamp, you only see the 'You Can't Stop my Shine'

But, when you flip the tab open, you see the full verse!! I kinda like this...a new tech I tried! :) To be honest , I didn't have the heart to cut off that lil bit of pp, so I folded it to create the flip..
