Forty winks,Day dreaming... Bedtime?

Hi bloggers. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Here in this part of SA the winter has arrived, so definitely indoors weather.
This card I made with one of my new Lily of the Valley stamps. I am entering it in 2 challenges. LOTV have a sketch by Bev to follow and at Teddy Stampers the theme is "Bedtime" Now I don't know if this one qualifies, but this teddy is definitely having a lovely sleep in his deckchair, so here's hoping.
Used white cardstock and matted DP papers from Funky Hand's new CD. The yellow strip of mesh was cut with the cuttlebug and matted a dark blue nestability onto this.

Image is from LOTV coloured with watercolour pencils.

Sentiment is from the new WOJ storekit "1001 nights"

Cut a blue star with the cuttlebug and added a button.

I visited Paola during the week and came away with a whole lot of new stamps that I can't wait to try. Yesterday I downloaded some papers from Bearly Mine Designs who are having a sale, so now I just need someone to tell me where I can get some more time, and then I will be happy.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and hope you have a very good week.
Warm wishes from South Africa

New! New! New!

This is a card I made for Teddy stampers challenge, this week. I followed the sketch which our own Sharon had designed as well as using the colours brown,blue pink and yellow.

Now the NEW parts. I was very lucky to win the challenge over at Isabella's sketchbook last week. http://isabellaschallenge.blogspot.com/ and the image for this card was one of two that I chose.

Another New is the sentiment stamp. I have for the first time used one of my Justrite stamps that I recently purchased. Am going to enjoy using these.

The last New, is not really new, but a first. I coloured my teddies for the first time with distress inks. Have seen how Kim does her colouring and am trying very hard to get there. I did also use some tombows for the other colours.

I finished it off with 2 buttons for the blue and pink and also cut a strip with the cuttlebug.

I really enjoyed making this one and hope you like it too. Enjoy the weekend and see you soon.

Teddy Stampers challenge

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderfully relaxing Sunday. At least we are having no rain today, plenty of warm sunshine, with just a hint of autum freshness in the mornings. Love that.

I have made a card for the Teddy stampers challenge, but have just realised that I am a week behind. The dry embossing was the previous challenge (where did the week go LOL), Saw the theme was LOVE for the new challenge and I have two hearts on this card, so "maybe"???? Anyway here goes. I enjoyed making it and it also serves for a card swap on a PCP blog "Pretty in Pink".

Paper: white cardstock and matted onto that another white card embossed with my brand new "Roses" cuttlebug folder.(this was one of the folders I chose with my voucher that I won on the cuttlebug blog challenge a few weeks ago)

Image : A digital image (not sure - it was cuddly something. Will have to note these down in future) Cut a circle with nestabilities, swiped the edge with pick stamp. I coloured with my Tombow markers and a bit of glitter on the bow. I used flower soft for the flowers. (not yet that familiar with it, need more practise) Glossy accents on the hearts to make them stand out.

Sentiment: Whiff of Joy

Ribbon from my stash and punched flower.

Hope to be back soon with some more, but still have a few swaps to get out of the way.

Have a good week everyone.
