Teddy Bear Birthday



Well, here it is! Is this the cutest bear or what!!!??? I was browsing a certain cart & saw this bear. It doesn't look much on the cart, so I cut one out of scrap paper and WOW! It's the most gorgeous little teddy! I cut the bear again from coloured card then chalked it around the edges and all the cut lines. I added the patterned pieces and then doodled again around the edges and all the cut the lines with a Tombow pen in a slightly darker colour (click the picture to see the detail) I added a bow to the neck & a shaped brad in the larger paw pad. I embossed a large white panel & matted it onto coloured card. I made another panel with a punched edge from coloured card & freebie papers. I added ribbon & a bow then adhered it to the card front with foam tape. I then added the bear. I cut a '1' from glitter card and adhered it with foam pads to the top right of the card. Titchy buttons & a flower complete the card. I put a simple sentiment inside using glitter card, plain card & patterned paper.
Carts used:
Teddy bear- Christmas Solutions (would you believe?!!!)
'1'- Base Camp (shadowed to give a chunkier number)
Today!- All Mixed Up
Hope you like the card & thanks for looking!
