My trio of Teddy Bo

This week I have made 3 Teddy Bo cards to celebrate my brothers wedding anniversary.  I got a text today to say they all arrived and they think they are beautiful.

I think that Teddy Bo digi stamps are a dream image to colour and each of the cards has a different brown copic colour combo for the fur to mix things up a bit.

Here are my three cards altogether :

The one on the left uses the "Hatched, matched and dispatched" image.  I used my make the cut software to make the shaped card and I have attached mini cans to the bumper of the car using bakers twine.  You can see full details of this card here.

The middle card took me quite a while to make.  Not only did I colour the image, I made it into a shaker card with gold hearts inside.  I then cut a frame on my cricut and using gilding flakes to gild the whole frame.

More details on this card can be found here.

And finally is the card my Brother will give his wife on Monday.  The sentiment reads "Thank you for choosing me".  I love the torn rose that I added to the card.  They are a great thing to make whilst watching tv as they are very simple to make.  You can find details of my final card here. 

I am entering this set into the following two challenges.  Technically you are meant to just re-post one card but I wanted to show you all my three cards together.  I hope thats ok.  My reason for choosing these cards is that I have had some of the kindest comments for these cards and it makes me very proud of my colouring skills.

My little girl is turning 21

I don't have any children but due to certain things I got the honour of helping to bring up my niece Rachel.

She turns 21 on the 12th and I feel soooo old.  She's currently working and living in Devon on a dairy farm.  As she most definitely not a girly-girl I had to think of images that were "just her".

I would like to enter Rachel's card into the following challenges :

Tuesday Morning sketches - great sketch guys

Papertake - anything goes -optional metallic, I used metallic card

Critter sketch - summer fun - the sun is on her t-shirt

i-copic - skin tones

Dutch dare - birthdays

Stamps r us - birthdays

copic oz - hair

Paper sundaes - sky and clouds
Cupcake challenge - how old/ include an age

As soon as I saw this stamp I thought of Rachel, its by Nellie Snellen and you can find here.  She is coloured with copics.  All three blue papers have different textures on them.  The mirri blue is from kanban, the others I'm not too sure of.  The 21 was cut out of the same card as the image mat and I then put it through my zyron sticker maker and then covered it in glamour dust glitter.  The ribbon and crocheted lace are from my stash.

Thanks for dropping on by today,

Big Hugs
