Teddy Bo and Teddy Bea are getting married

As soon as I saw the Teddy Bo image "Hatched, matched and dispatched" I wanted to colour it.  Though to be honest I want to colour ALL the Teddy Bo images.  I'm seriously addicted to the furry guy n his girl.

This card is for my Brother and Sister-in-laws 19th wedding anniversary on the 22nd of this month.  I hope they like Teddy Bo as all three cards I need to make for them with be featuring Teddy Bo and Bea.

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

Mad for markers - use spica glitter pens - the back lights of the car are coloured with clear glitter pen

icopic - fur

Anything goes - celebration - wedding anniversary

Teddy Bo - love is in the air

Cute card thursday - clean and simple - only embellishment used are the tin cans

Sentimental Sundays - shaped cards

Craft us crazy - anything goes

Creative craft - summer - summer is also wedding season

So what do you think??  This card took me quite a long time, but it was a labour of love.  The card measures 14x13cm so quite a large area to colour.  It is coloured as always with my wonderful copic pens.  I used burgundy as my accent colour for this card as that was the colour of the bridesmaids dresses when they got married.  The number plate is their surname.

I imported the digi stamp into make the cut programme to create the shaped card base, in grey and black.

I have added glamour dust glitter to Bea's veil and clear sakura glitter pen to the back lights of the car and the wheel hubs.  Which look great when you move it around in the light as the car lights look like they go on and off.

The"cans" are attached with bakers devine twine and are covered in tin foil. 

Thanks for dropping on by today and I hope you come back again soon,

It's a Kind of Magic

As soon as I saw the Abracadabra stamp from Lili of the Valley, he went straight to the top of my most wanted list, so using him today has been brilliant.

I am entering my magical card into the following challenges :

Lili of the Valley - bring on the music - queen song Its a kind of magic

TotallyPaperCrafts - punches and die cuts - I designed the star circle in Make The Cut

Here come the boys - Myth and magic

Paper Sundae's  - Easel cards

Sentimental Sundays - Sparkly or shimmery (no way is this summer, here in the UK, is it? )
Do you stack up? - use a star
Copic Creations - Doodles - the music notes in white gel pen

Sunday Sketch and Stamp - the sketch below

And here's my card :

The cute Abracadabra guy has been stamped onto a star circle I made in make the cut then cut it on my cricut.  (if you want a copy of my MTC file , please let me know in the comments section and if anyones interested I will work out how to attach a file onto my blog and post it for you)

The star circle also has a black shadow to set off the white and make it pop.

He is coloured with copics, with his stars and moons done in yellow sakura stardust pen and his wand in silver sakura pen.

The sparkly star paper is by making memories and the black organza ribbon has silver dots all over it.  The strip of shimmery black card across the bottom of the card and behind the sentiment is actually from the box I spray my perfect pearls mists on to.  I have doodled the music notes using white gel pen.

The sentiment has been computer generated.

The only way my card is different from the sketch as I have done the stars all around the circle instead of using flowers.

Don't forget if you want a copy of my MTC file just let me know in my comments,

Hugs

SSC Blog Hop Challenge- Masking

Hiya Folks and welcome to my post for the Simply Scrapping Crafts monthly blog hop.  This time we have to make a card using the masking technique, so I got out my new Hero Arts flower stamps and got cracking.

Here's my card :

This is my second attempt at a clean and simple card and I'm really pleased with how it has come out.

I began by stamping each flower onto the top section of a post-it note so that I could easily reposition it.

I then cut out my white panel and stamped the top right hand corner of it, using a bubblegum pink pigment ink pad and a turquoise chalk ink pad.  I then added the ruffled ribbon, which I really need more of a, and finally added the panel that says to a special friend.  I can't tell you who she is as she reads my blog, but I'm thinking she will guess its for her.

I have entered this card into the Sentimental Sunday's challenge which is to create a single layered card with a sentiment.  

Hugs

Sketch Saturday : The sketch below

Sentimental Sundays - anything goes

Paper Sundaes - magical and mythical

And heres my card :

Sorry its such a poor photo, but the rain has started again, and its really dull here.
I am not 100% happy with this card but after my fall I'm not able to sit and craft for very long at all so this will be as good as I can get it, I'm afraid.

The image used is Rainbow Dreams and she has been coloured with my copics.

Do you like the sentiment?  Well is was made by my super talented friend Marion and she has kindly said I can share it with you all.  So just click on the sentiment below and then right-click and do save as.

Please pop over to her blog When the scrap hits the fun! and see what other goodies she has to offer.  She gives her wonderful sentiments for free but I'm sure she wouldn't say no to kind comments of thanks and maybe becoming a follower so you can keep up to date with what she has going on.

Thanks for dropping by,
