A Teddy Bear's Mother's Day card (Bentley Bear image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's another card for Mother's Day, I received this stamp as a freebie with a magazine, how cute is it? The brand is Bentley Bear and it came in a set of 4. As always I coloured the image with Copic markers. I wanted to give the ribbon a relaxed feel rather than a rigid line so I scrunched it when I put it on the paper (having some double sided tape and a little glue on the card).



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - fave colour combos
The Crafty Addicts -  Anything goes/use ribbon
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - Anything goes with patterned paper

Hi and Welcome card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Sometimes an image gives you ideas and inspiration to use it in a different way like this and I love it when that happens to me. I had coloured this gorgeous image from Polkadoodles not knowing how my card would look and then I decided to create a type of scene and I think it's turned out really cute (if I do say so myself hehe). She is such a sweetie isn't she? I die cut a planter and added some flowers & hearts to it. I embossed white cardstock with my brick folder then inked over it in the mint and pink so the "bricks" look coloured.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this card or all of my cards tonight, I love knowing that people have popped by my blog so thank you for dropping by :)
