The Adorable Bears ......

I am loving the fact that with the Prisma and Polychromo Pencils you can colour directly onto card without it showing through to the other side so it is perfect for one layer cards.

For this card I printed directly onto a sheet of A4 card and then cut the card down as my printer refused to print directly onto a card blank even with lots of coaxing!

You Rock...

Another Teddy Bo card to share today.  I coloured this image with my favourite medium at the moment.......yes you guessed it Prisma Pencils :)   and Promarkers for the lightest colour on Teddy Bo.

 
The star is cut using a set of the new X Cut Dies.  They don't feel as strong as the Nestabilities but they certainly cut well.  I chose the star to see what I thought and then decided I may get another set or two so I went back to The Range on Friday night to find that they had sold out :(.........

I'm sure they will get some more in so will have to keep visiting just to check.

The paper is actually from a Christmas Echo Park Pad but thought the blue went well with the denim jeans on Teddy Bo

I tried to add a sentiment but it just didnt look right so I think I will leave as is.

Happy Fathers Day!!

So we are back from our 2  weeks away and we had a great time.  It was very relaxing and I think we managed to escape the worst of the rain as we only had a couple of days of rain really.  I had an extra special treat on the way home and stopped off at Sir Stampalot to pick up a couple of things that I had ordered before going away. What a lovely welcome we got from Janice along with a lovely cup of tea.  We were there for about an hour before the final stretch of the journey home.

Today I am sharing the card that I made for my Dad for Father's Day using another great Teddy Bo image.
