This cute little teddy is Beary Happy Bear from Kaz Kraftz. The placard that he is holding is blank so you can put your own message in it.

The little fella is coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers and I have added a furry texture using various shades of brown and pouncing on it with a lighter shade so it creates a rough furry look to it. I cut around the image and added some 3D foam. Using a new set of dies from X Cut I created a mat from iridescent silver card.

I used a sheet of pale blue card for the base and added some star embossed card from Kanban. I used a strip of holographic card I have had in my stash FOREVER to add a bit of New Year pizazz. I then added some peel off stars around the bear to tie it to the backing card.

I decided it needed a little something so added a die cut star embellished with some faux stitches, bakers twine and some curling ribbon.

I do hope that you had a fabulous Christmas and that the New Year has started off well for everyone J

Anything Goes

We have a new sponsor this week. Rick St Dennis has a fabulous prize for the lucky winner who uses a Stitchy store image

Goodness me, this is my 900th post! That's a lot of cardmaking and waffle, thankfully though for you my dear readers most of it has been cardmaking......

It was my turn to pick an image for me and teamie Choccy to work with and as I am still frantically trying to get my Christmas cards done I chose this Christmas Candle image from Kaz Kraftz. You get 2 different files, one which is the candle image in 2 different sizes and the other which is the candle and a topper of the floral section for decoupage. It is this one I chose to work with for my card.

I coloured the image using Promarkers & Flexmarkers and kept to the traditional red and green Christmas colours. I used some Woodware applique paint for the wax on the candle so it is raised and shiny, just like dripping wax would be. I also used some glossy accents to add shine to the candle flame and the pool of wax on the top of the candle. Unfortunately the photo doesn’t show the shine as much as it should. It is so dark and dismal in the UK and this was lit with 2 lamps. After several attempts I had to admit defeat L  I added some Stickles glitter glue and gold and red to the poinsettia and a few accents using a gold gel pen.

The card blank was distressed around the edges with a small blank ink pad. The main backing paper is from a Dovecrafts pad, Back to Basic Christmas. I used a Nestabilities die to cut a mat from a scrap of green card. The oval of text paper is from Papermania and then the candle image is laid onto this.

The glittery spotty ribbon is from Dovecraft, the Papermania sentiment has been matted onto some more green card and the added gems are from a DCWV Christmas kit.
I was lucky enough to be asked to make a project using an image from our Sponsor Rick St Dennis which is coming up on the next post.
