Welcome to day one of a blog hop to celebrate the new Yay You release from Simon Says Stamp! Today, I’m sharing a fun little card that is the result of combining two different stamp sets.

I’m even doing a bit of Copic coloring, which is not always in my wheelhouse but I think the little bear turned out just fine! Here is my video showing you how I created the card:
Now onto the blog hop fun! First, the blog hop special:
