Balloon Bear

Good Evening Folks!

Hope your weekend is going well!! I don't seem to have achieved that much today but I did finish this little card using a vintage Forever Friends stamp that I found lurking in a box in my room - really one day I will be properly organised and ultra tidy with everything in it's place - yeah I know the Flying Pig just went past!! Anyway, here she is looking really cute and bashful! The papers are from my scraps collection, a mixture of DCWV and papermania I think??

Here's a closer look:

I followed this great sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday as my inspiration:

and also the picture inspiration over at The Cutie Pie challenge:

So without further ado, here's my card:

I've had this LOTV stamp in my stash for a couple of months but this is the first time she has been inked up and coloured - shameful I know!

As usual, I have used promarkers for colouring in the image and also a little yellow stickles to add a bit of twinkle to the candles. The papers are a combination of Henbury Lane, Forever friends Pink Parfait and Dovecraft Back to Basics. The lacey edges were made using a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers & little metal flower charm are from my stash.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to get busy entering the C.R.A.F.T. challenge, the Dt love to come & visit your blogs!!
