Balloon Bear


This card wasn't working well but now that its complete its not too bad although the camera loves the red more the pattern paper cos the red isn't that bright.
I've followed the sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge, carefully making sure I had lined the pattern paper to match and them placed the image mat that hid the fact. Decided to use the Martha Stewart deep edge doily daisy punch for a change still prefer the MFT crochet border.
The little bear is from LOTV and in future I will colour some of the flowers separately to make them look more like a bunch. The corners are Whimsey dies which shut to me to put a pearl or gem in the perfectly size hole in the corner. The flowers are EK success with a stamen punch I have in the centre and the leaves are CC designs.
Well the I've printed loads of photos and read most of the prompts for my journal but haven't made a start, today is making some cards once my cold craftroom warms up my little heater is on maximum.
