Birthday Bear


Hi all, I'm back with another Guest Designer post for Just Us Girls, and this week it's a colour challenge.  Pop over to their blog for lots of inspiration and hopefully you get a chance to play along too!

For my card I've used this oldie from Penny Black - he's a bit bigger than my frame but I think I got him squished in ok 😉. Coloured with polychromos, sparkle added to the ribbon and glitter to his pom-pom.  The scrap leftover from cutting my frame was just big enough to cut my sentiment and stars which always pleases me LOL


 Seize the Birthday #249 - faces, human or animal 

Cardz for Guys 306 - teddy bear

Word Art Wednesday #565 - anything goes 

Penny Black Saturday October - anything goes

That's an awesome card! I love that big bear peeking through the circular window. I think his being "squished" in that space is cuter than if he was simply an image on the front of your card. Your sentiment and stars are perfect. I love it when I can use up little leftover scraps of paper, too.

Such a cute birthday bear and I love him peeking out of the circle frame! I love all of the texture and so great using the scraps left over for the stars and sentiment. Perfect use of the colors!
