Happy 40th Birthday (commission)

hello friends. 
wow - its been a while since I posted anything. So apologies for that. 
Its not that I haven't made any cards just they all at the moment are wedding day cards and are all the same style - the landscape ones.
Anyway here is today's card and this is another request but this time for a tatty teddy image.  Here I have used a blue checky backing paper from my digi paper stash and printed the sentiment direct onto the paper using the a similar font to the tatty teddy font.

I printed the teddy image twice and decoupaged the heart just to lift it slightly. I added glossy accents to the heart and mounted it onto a tatty teddy backing paper.

I printed another of the circular date sentiments and changed it to black to show month, birthday and this year. 

 here is another close up of the bear

the recipient's real name is Blue but he also gets called Johny so that's why the 2 names are on the front.

thanks for dropping by and I would appreciate any feedback from my fellow crafters and friends

hugs to you all
