Strawberries For Teddy Bea

Good Evening

It's a new challenge over at Teddy Bo today. This time we are asked to make a Shaped Card. This gave me the perfect excuse to buy one of Gayle's gorgeous images that I had on my wish list 'Strawberry Picking'.

This adorable Teddy Bea was coloured with pencils. I can't draw for toffee, so found a free strawberry image which I downloaded and then printed onto red paper. The stalk was printed again onto green paper. I then cut out a strawberry shaped card and added the various layers. Teddy Bea was attached with glue gel.

Then came the challenge! How would I make the card stand up? After many failed attempts at creating a stand that would still allow the card to fold flat, I eventually came up with one that did the job.

I couldn't help smiling as I was cutting out the strawberry. It reminded my of a time we took the girls strawberry picking on the Isle of Anglesey when Emma was about 3. We told her she wasn't allowed to eat any of the strawberries until they were paid for. Well these strawberries smelled so delicious and were the size of apples, so of course they got the better of her. By the time we went to pay, all over her face and all down the front of her t-shirt were pink! The woman on the till couldn't help but laugh!!!!

I would also like to enter my card in the Pollycraft Monday Challenge Be My Teddy Bear.
