We have the strangest of weather today, we had hailstone not half an hour ago and now the sunshines back!
My card for today shows Teddy Bo playing in the puddles.
For once I chose my backing paper before I coloured in the image, so I could colour my image accordingly. I decided to pick the green from the backing paper to colour in his coat and hat. I had a real good sort out of all my papers yesterday, and this is from a crafthouse press book I bought yonks ago.
Teddy Bo is coloured in pencils and then I used glossy accent over the puddle, unfortunately it doesn't show up too well in the photo but looks very effective IRL.
I used an embossing folder that reminded me of waves on the red card, and cut a mat from the same card using a Marianne Die and the embellishment at the top is made using a Spellbinders die from the fleur de lis set. A few buttons were added to complete the card.
I am entering my card in the following challenges.

I love Teddy Bo and this is so cute. I always try to pick my papers first but sometimes like to just spend a while colouring in images. I have a little stamp giveaway on my blog. Marianne x
