Fairy Tale Friday

Shhhhh don't tell the boss but I have sneaked in my favourite Teddy Bea on this card! Wishing on a Star Bea but I cut her star off and added a bit of the bunting as her flag. She's coloured in with pencils and the papers are a freebie from My Craft Studios. All I have added is a few buttons and lots of glitter on her wings (well you just have to don't you!)

Don't forget you still have time to join in with the challenge we have running this time - Red, White and Blue not for getting the bling! We have more inspritation for you over on the Teddy Bo Challenge blog so why not pop over and see what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you.

I have coloured Teddy Bo and Bea in with Promarkers. The papers are from Portabella Road by Papermania. The grass and "Picnic in the Park" we're cut on my silhouette.

Now for something totally different!

I was lucky enough to win 33 stamps from Claire at Hope Jacare for her 3rd year blog candy and it took me AGES to decide just which ones I really NEEDED from her shop at Stitchy Bear

For this card I have used the gorgeous - Swirls Bird and Flowers and coloured it with pencils I have layered it onto a spare bit of card and then added a few card candi's. Just to finish it off I have doodled around the edge - which means I am able to enter it into the Polka Doodles challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look, I hope you like it - I love it and I really urge you to pop over and see the gorgeous stamps that Claire does :0)
