For my card, I couldn't resist this cute ninja critter from the Jonathan's Bears set from SVG Cuts.  Their files are quickly becoming some of my most used.  After cutting and assembling the bear and his outfit, I added a few finishing touches.  I used glossy accents on his blade to make it extra shiny.  I also used an ink pad on his belt to give it a better texture.  Both the background paper and the blue strip are from Amy Tangerine 6x6 pads, and the sentiment is from a stamp set from Paper Studio.  The bears in this set only come with noses, so I made his eyes with a handheld whole punch and his mouth is a lower case "l" from an alphabet stamp set.

Isn't he a cutie?  I liked the "surprise" sentiment because I thought a ninja would surprise you!  If you love critters as much as I do, make sure you play along and enter our challenge before the end of the month!
