TEDDY BEA WITH CHRISTMAS WREATH

Today my card share features a new image available from TEDDY BO, yes these awesome Teddies are back they are also having a DT call just go HERE for more details

I coloured Teddy Bea with Graph It Markers and Copics (face), I have used a mix of papers the brown spotty one is from LOTV the other 2 papers are from a new pad that I just received that are called 'Special Delivery' by H Cuppleditch

I have mounted both the image and papers onto black card stock then mounted the whole card onto a 7 x 7 Kraft card base.

I used brown and pink ribbon for the double bow and a burlap ribbon across the centre of my design. I have added pink flower pearls, gold metal corner, sentiment and some spotty card candy.

DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY WITH DIGITAL DELIGHTS AND BOOBOO

I am afraid I am all of a tizz, my routine has been broken since letting my son have my laptop and I am stressing out, doesn't take alot, lol.

I thought yesterday was Thursday and couldn't understand why Digital Delights blog was not showing the DT cards, I started wondering if there was something special going on that I had missed, it finally clicked that I was living in the future........by a day. I had not even posted my card in the DT gallery but I was so sure that I had, I could even see myself doing it, but it was missing so I had to e-mail my picture to Wendy, I could kick myself.

Anyway I am here to show you my DT card featuring

TIME FOR TEA BOOBOO

he is available

HERE

I would like to enter my card into the challenge at

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY - ANYTHING GOES/OPTION SWEET TREATS

For my card I have used a 5 x 5 scalloped circle card base I then cut 4, decreasing in size, circles with my EK Success circle cutter, I layered the circles the added BooBoo I printed him off then cut him out, I have coloured him with Graph It Markers, I then added flowers, butterflies and a sentiment, I also added some Cosmic Shimmer PVA Antique Pink Pearls around the outer card, Viva Decor Creme Pearls to the butterflies and yellow Viva Decor Pearls to the centre of the flowers in the teacup.

FITZTOWN CHALLENGE-FALL COLOURS-INSPIRATIONAL CARD

Good morning, it is my turn to do an inspirational card for the new fortnightly challenge at

FITZTOWN CHALLENGE

For my card I have used the beautiful image called

GOTHIC FAIRY No: 38

I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and mounted her onto both gold and red card, the base card is from last years Hunkydory Autumn Collection so I thought it fitted perfectly.

I also added some die cut discs and butterflies

It was such a pleasure colouring this image as Autumn is my favourite season.

SILENT NIGHT

Today my card share is very clean and simple, by my standards anyway, lol, I have used a brand new stamp that I bought from Anna Marie Designs, I stamped the image onto linen card stock using Versafine clear then heat embossed it with WOW Gold embossing powder, I mounted the image onto gold mirri card added a bow and that was it.

Because it is very overcast and dark here in Glos this morning I took a closer pic of the image to show you the sparkle of the embossing powder, it looks so lovely in RL.

I actually printed her off onto Linen card stock and coloured her with Copics then added Glossy Accents to her eyes, I used die cuts to cut both the image and frame, the papers are a bit of a mix, I added card candy, punched butterflies, flower pearl, bow and flowers.
