Brown and cream card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have some gorgeously girly cards to show today, I hope you'll check them out. 

This first card was created with a Saturated Canary image, I have created with her just recently but with pastels (see below).

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
