Another first for me.....

Hi Girls.....

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday in this glorious sunshine!  We need to make the most of it I think, because as it's only April..... we're bound to have a bit of cold before the summer..... or is that just my pessimistic outlook coming through?  Let's hope we have this lovely sunshine till September at least!  My OH has been at work today, so apart from sitting outside a little soaking up some rays..... I got around to putting this card together!

Now....  this is another first for me.... a teddy!  Soooooo difficult to colour!  But inspired by Annette of Netty's Cards, I decided to have a go.  The image is from the Stamp Fairy - Teddy Thank You.  I coloured it with my copics.... mostly E numbers (he's a hyper ted now...... hehe) - but you know what i mean!  The sentiment is from LOTV - and the DP - hmmmm I can't remember now but I'll try to find out for you.  I ran some papermill linen cardstock through an embossing folder to get the white square - mounted it onto another white square with distressed and glittered edges, then mounted (!) the ted on 3D foam.  Oh and I used Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle Irridescent glitter spray on the sentiment circle just cos I didn't think there was enough glitter!

I did try to get an impression of fur in the colouring.... not sure I've acheived it.  Hmmmmm should I go back to Tilda's with their easier colouring???????  LOL!!

Happy rest of Sunday....
Hugs
Christine xx

    Hey! I think you've done a stonkingly good job colouring this teddy, far far better than any of my attempts.
    And those papers are beautiful, love the embossing too.

    Yes...I do think you may need to pay import duties into Yorkshire!

    Gorgeous little teddy Christine and your colouring is absolutely fine - you have no need to worry. I'm lovin the new pic, you're hardly recognisable from your other, I loved that you challenged everyone to update their pic's after harrogate! Had a fab day with Lisa Jane today, not sure I would have recognised her too LOL

    HI Christine... love the little Ted and i think your colouring is just fine.. but i know what you mean as its one of the reasons i don't do teds very often. Love the sparkle lol
    Neither me nor Laurie looked like our pics.. and everyone i met at the weekend said i looked younger than my pic lol... so i think a ew one is in order..
    Laurie is coming to stay for the next Harrogate show .. so that will be fun -we can all get together
