For my own card I created this one
this little lady is called "Coconut" and you will find her here. I printed onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her out with my Circular die and cut a fancy one out of orange card to mount her on.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white  card with a first mount out of the same orange card and the backing paper is also from the same design set "Coconut" and you will find it here. Then I used several Joy/Marianne dies to create the diecuts and placed them around the mounted image which has been placed in the center. The sentiment is also from my stash which was then stamped and placed onto a piece of orange and yellow card and placed in the bottom right hand corner.
Now that you've seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Summer Break Anything Goes" Challenge.

Challenge #223 - Teddy Bears - Pink Gem Challenges

This weeks Challenge is all about that special friend our "Teddy Bears" and for me this is just fabulous as I love to collect them and I'm not going to let you know how many I have but all I can say is my cupboard is over flowing and I'm always careful when opening the doors.
So the theme is

And to create my card I used this little bear,


This Football Teddy and you will find him here, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used a rectangle Nestabilitie to cut him out and a larger one our of green card to mount him with. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been stamped and mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same green card and she the image, and then on top I have used one of the background papers also from Pink Gem Designs and you will find it here. I then placed my mounted image towards the left with my sentiment down in the bottom right hand corner, to finish of I have used embellishment down the side of the card.
