Eskimo Bear

I only worked half a day today, so I had a little extra time to play around in my craft room, so I wound up making a second card today!  :)  And, I think it turned out pretty cute.  Here it is:
 This card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used a white cardstock for the card base.  I cut some black cardstock at 5 3/8"x4 1/8" and then some patterned paper (from DCWV) at 5 1/4"x4."  I used Elegant Edges for the scalloped oval mat.  Both the shadow and basic parts are cut at 4 1/2."  I added the mats to the card base, then wrapped the mat layers with black polka dotted ribbon.  I used Teddy Bear Parade for the eskimo bear.  It is cut at 3" and I hid the eyes so that I could give her a Peachy Keen face.  With all her layers it comes to about 3 1/4" tall.  I flocked the white parts of the parka and then added Stickles to the mittens and shoes.  I adhered the bear to the card with foam tape.  I then stamped my sentiment on white cardstock and matted it with pink and black cardstock and added it to the card over the ribbon.
 I also finished the inside of the card on this one.  I cut some pink cardstock at 5 3/8"x4 1/8," some black cardstock at 5 1/4"x4" and some patterned paper at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  I then cut more black cardstock at 4"x2 3/4" and some white cardstock at 3 7/8"x2 5/8."  I then stamped my sentiment in rose bud ink by Tsukineko.  Both stamps are from My Pink Stamper.
I made this for the following challenges:
