Hello Blogland
Did you notice there was a short transmission break there? I felt very low what with proper Autumn coming in and the start of short dull dreich days and longer nights. It always make me feel pretty miserable so I took a short break until I acclimatised.
Pleased to report I'm now well on the way to getting used to the dullness, so I'm back and with a card to share!
I used:
Digital Stamp:
Lee Holland Designs - Teddy Celebration
coloured with Copics
Rubber Stamps:
Catherine Pooler - Happy Birthday Many Ways
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips : Birthdays
Dies:
My Favorite Things - Die-namics : Fishtail Foundations
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips : Well Rounded
Anything Else:
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink
Black card
What I did:
Re-sized and printed the digital stamp onto Copic friendly paper then coloured it in.
Swished some Distress Ink over the bottom of the image.
Then cut the panel to fit the DL (Slimline) card base I'd made.
I then mounted the panel onto some black card - again cut to fit the card blank.
Attached the stamped and die-cut 'happy birthday' to the image with 3d foam.
Inked the 'let the celebrations begin' stamped and die-cut sentiment with Distress Inks and glued it to the image.
Glued the whole panel and card to the card blank.
et voila, job done!
I'm not too sure about the colouring in the teddy - I was following along with a Kit and Clowder colouring video but I think I need more practice. To me the teddy looks more like a Highland Cow than a teddy bear!
Signing off now,
Sarah

Cute card Sarah.... and it definitely looks like a teddy! xx
ReplyDeleteYour highland cow comment did make me laugh! I think your teddy looks fantastic! Such a sweet image and fabulous card design! Glad you're feeling strong enough to face your dreary days again. I'm the complete opposite! I love the darker, colder, shorter days, and feel hot and uncomfortable when he sun is shining.
