A Thank You Note From Teddy Bea

Good Morning

I am in the middle of a batch of Thank You cards for my daughter to send to thank everyone for her 18th birthday presents.  I've had to keep them fairly straight forward but had a bit of a mental block to say the least!  The current challenge at Teddy Bo is Clean and Simple, so I decided to sit and colour my favourite bear to use on one of the cards.

Teddy Bea is coloured with coloursoft pencils and then matted onto some lovely mottled cardstock that I got from Papermill.  The flower and flourishes are cut using Marianne dies and a gem added to the centre of the flower.

My card is for the following challenges:

Teddy Bo Challenge  - Clean and Simple

Saturday Challenge - White plus one other colour (not including the colour of the image)

The Crafty Pad Challenge - Monochromatic

My Time To Craft Challenge - Punches and dies

Creative Inspirations - Monochromatic

Bling It On Challenge - No patterned paper

Pollycraft Monday Challenge  - Girls, girls, girls

Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - Free and Easy

Thanks for visiting my blog today, I'm off to try and finish the rest of the Thank You cards.
