When I saw this darling little bear buried in a pile of hearts, I just had to get my first Valentine of the year done. The image is from the monthly progressive challenge at Gerda Steiner Designs.
Those two triangular strips are harder to plan than I first imagined when I looked at the sketch. I ended up using two different types of dp, one glittered and the other with polka dots.
After I had already colored him with my ProMarkers, I realized he would have made a perfect little Panda but I was staying with the colors for the February Card Chain Challenge so I'll leave him as is. Next time, I'll try him as a Panda Bear.
After coloring, I cut the image with a die from Spellbinders, inked the edges, and added the triangles. The sentiment was stamped and hand-cut, then layered onto the red CS strip along the bottom. Since this one is going to get mailed halfway across the world, I left it pretty flat and CAS - no additional, bulky, embellies.

Yes! he certainly is a darling bear, with super use of the sketch, it's all GREAT especially as it looks like lots of layers, but is quite flat as you say.
