One of the things that I love about working with digital images is the ability to resize.  To create this shaped card I printed the bear out at 5 inches tall!  He was fussy cut, colored with copic markers and adhered to Perfect Plum cardstock from Stampin' Up!  I fussy cut again around the card base to create the final shaped card.   The image was printed onto designer papers twice for the scarf.  I then paper pieced and attached the scarf.  Don't forget to mark your calendars for the Annual Holiday Chaos week of fun starting Saturday, December 2 at Catch the Bug.  There will be a new challenge each day and lots of prizes!
