Ballerina Bea

Good Afternoon

We've actually got sunshine today!  Hopefully September will be better than August!

My card for today features my favourite bear, Teddy Bea.



Bea is coloured with Coloursoft pencils and some stickles added to her wand and wings to add some sparkle.

The base card is cut using a Marianne die using a lovely rich brown cardstock from Papermill.  The backing paper is printed from a Crafters Companion cd-rom.  It's either Appley Dapply or SWALK but I'm afraid I can't remember which one!  The little flowers are created using a Nellie Snellen die and little pearls added to the centre.  Three co-ordinating gems are used to complete the card.

My card is for the following challenges:

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 5 - Sketch

CES Challenges - Pink, Brown and Aqua

Creations by Gill M - Anything that Flies

My Time To Craft Challenge - Use Flowers

Flutter By Wednesdays - Butterfly, Angel or Fairy

PaperPlay Challenges - Make Your Own Flowers
