True Blue

Good afternoon, crafty bloggers.
Today I have made a card with one of the new gorgeous digi images due for release soon.
The talented artist behind it is my wonderful boss Gayle at Teddy Bo.
I have coloured her with Blue as this is my favourite colour.
 
 
 
Medium ~ Polychromos pencils
Papers ~ Papermania "Burleigh Blue"
Doily edger punch ~ Martha Stewart
Lace ~  Creative Treasures
Flowers ~ WOC
Sentiment ~ Cuddly Buddly
 
I have added some tiny blue rhinestones to the lace
 
 
I have added some Gold Stickles to her belt  and neck band
 
 
A closer look at her face
 
I hope you'll agree that she is simply gorgeous?
 
 
Thanks for stopping by  and i'll be back tomorrow with my favourite bear.
Crafty hugs.

Halloween

Good evening, Crafty bloggers.

Today I have made a Halloween card featuring  my favourite bear.
It took quite some time to colour this image, in fact (blush, blush) four hours in total as I am the sort of crafty person that has to blend, blend, blend with my Polychromos pencils:) lol.
I have tried Sansador but, I just can't get the image how I would like it to look.
The image I have used is a set of 11 graphics from Teddy Bo at an amazing price of just £3.00.

Here is my card
 
 
I have used image TEDDYBO_213 found here
Medium ~ Polychromos pencils
Cardstock ~ Recycled col; Chocolate
Papers ~ Echo Park "Chillingsworth Manor"
Woodland branch punch ~ Martha Stewart
Flowers & 5mm pearls ~ WOC
Bat charm ~ The Ribbon Girl
Sentiment ~ freebie from Birdscards
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
I have printed out a second image  and cut out the bird, coloured him then I used sticky pads to place him on top to give a 3D effect.
I have sprinkled some Glamour dust over the cross on the tombstone  and used some Anita's 3D clear gloss on the lantern.
 
 
A  peek of the card inside
 
I am entering my card into the following challenges: Cutiepie Challenge 29 ~ Halloween
                                                                                  Dreamvalley: Challenge 43 ~ Halloween
