The Bear and the Flowers

This week over on my challenge blog the challenge is 'Beary Good' sponsored by Kayla's Designs who provided the DT with some lovely images to work with.  This little bear is the one I chose - with difficulty.  The prize will be some digi images of the winners choice so do be sure to pop over and enter.
Kayla is only 16 years of age and draws her own designs to I thought I would give her a chance by promoting her on my blog - her images are cute and lovely.
The background pale green pearlised card is from a set from Craftwork Cards I won from Amy -  cut into a DL cut down shape.  I added the inside and the top border from a new CD by Cupcake Crafting only just released - this was a freebie.  I cut the centre of the shape out and added some mauve and white backing paper from my stash then printed , cut and coloured my bear using Pastel Chalks - a favourite of mine at the moment.  I added the sentiment from the same set and attached some flowers and gems to finish it off.
I like the pale colours for a change and not a Christmas card this week lol.

Decoupaged Crysanthemum

DCM asked for a 'Quick Card' this week so here is my entry, the main card and image printed out from my new Cupcake Crafting Potpourri cd onto white glossy card. I printed a coordinating insert and some decoupage images, then added three layers to the card. The cutting out took the longest time and the whole card took about 10 minutes. This cd is a great addition to my ever growing collection.
