Teddy Bear Card

My Teddy Bear Card

 

Pinspirational Photo Challenge

 

Had a lot of fun combining several challenges to create my teddy bear card.  This is another stamp that I have had for many years and never used.  Stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copics.  Background layer is dry embossed with Darice embossing folder. 

Also added lace, prima flowers with pearl centers and punched leaves.

Oh Christmas Tree

 

The new challenge at Crafty Ribbons is Pure Whiteness.  I combined that challenge theme with the Emboss it challenges at Simon Says and created this elegant white on white Christmas card.  I've had this Cuttlebug lace tree embossing folder for a couple of years now and couldn't get it to work right until today.  After a couple of tries, I figured out the trick to making it work.  I used a very light weight cardstock and cut the cardstock piece to fit just inside the embossing folder.  I added a sheer white ribbon bow at the bottom of the tree to finish off my pure white card.
