Today, Teddy Bo dropped in to say hello.  He is just the cutest guy around and he just won't leave my craft desk.  I would like to enter Bo's card into the following challenges :

2 sisters - boys and their toys

Sweet Stampin - strawberry, chocolate and cream colour scheme

Isn't he just the cutest bear around???  Teddy Bo is coloured with copics.  I used my fiskars bracket punch along the edge of the image and the Hello! is stamped in brown chalk ink.  The papers used are from the same sheet of MME Andrea Victoria paper.  Don't you just love the double sided papers.

And that's it.  Nice and simple,

My final card as a guest designer at Craft Your Passion

Today's card is my final time as a guest designer on Craft your passion.

If you don't know I have really been struggling with a very bad back this past week and haven't been able to sit to colour, which is a huge nightmare for me.  So I managed to get a card together not realising I was meant to be following a sketch.  I've been unable to sit and colour another image so I cheated and printed out one of my coloured images.

Here is the sketch you need to be following for this weeks challenge :

And here is my take on the sketch :

The main image I have used is called Steampunk Luca and is from Tickled Pink stamps.  The clock face was an SVG file I found on the net, not sure where.  The squares at the bottom of the card are by Delicious Doodles.  They come as black digi stamps and I just changed the colour of them and made them into little squares.  The embossed section on the cards is done using a the steampunk embossing fold in the clock and steampunk set, by Ranger.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :

One stop crafts - anything but square

2 sisiters - boys

The die cut border was cut on my cricut and it is in the make the cut gallery.   I have added gold craftwork cards candi.  The ribbon is lush and came from my local craft shop.  The tree is a inkadinkado stamp I think.

And thats it really, pretty clean and simple.

I'm hoping my back will ease off a little bit over the weekend so I can get some colouring done as I havn't coloured all week and it's just pants!!
