Forgotten Stamp Friday-Week 15

Hey Everyone, and welcome to this week's Forgotten Stamp Friday challenge!!

If you aren't familiar with the Forgotten Stamp Friday challenge, it's a challenge I pose to myself, and all my friends and readers to make a card or project using a stamp that hasn't been used or has been owned and NOT used for at least six months. You don't have to post ON Friday to play along, so don't worry about that, just have fun, and be sure to leave a link so I can jump around and see what you have been up to!! Don't forget to use the keyword FSF15 when uploading to your online gallery!!

For today's card, I used the Whipper Snapper set, Bear Hugs. I made his hearts into balloons, and colored the whole image with my Copics. I then layered it with Ruby Red and Baja Breeze. The pp I used is Cosmo Cricket Togetherness. My ribbon was purchased through MFT some time ago, and my brads are from Michael's. I also used this weeks Sweet Stop sketch. My border was made using an MFT Lace Border Die-namic.
