Beary Happy Birthday....

I just do not know what happened with me this last ten days, every time I tried to get into my work room something cropped up.... Life I am afraid took over and I have been AWOL for a few days... tut tut tut...

I have to try and make time for myself which is sometimes hard with the way things are here...

Anyway on to my card, I saw the Friday Sketchers Challenge and thought I'd give it a go, Bev has created a beautiful sketch... and here is the card that I created using the sketch.. The image is Teddy bo I have had some brilliant advice from the mega talented Rach, Thank you so much Rach, it really came in handy... and I do appreciate it..Bea is coloured using Tim Holtz distressing inks...

I used some old Bo Bunny papers called A Gift Of Love... along with the obligatory stitching LOL. Now I got the pink slightly the wrong shade when colouring Bea so i used some Suze Weinberg glue and added some Glamour Dust, which is mega sparkly, I'm not sure it shows that well in the photographs but it does help slightly with the colour match or miss match should I say....As most people who read my blog know, I have a little thing for dying and creating stuff from scratch or nothing in some cases...Generally I like to make a mess and get dirty...LOL  I ordered some Hug Snug Seam Binding a while back and decided to use it on this card. First I had to dye the binding using Ranger alcohol inks. I love the crinkled effect and

 I'm not sure if I am right in saying this, but, I have checked out other seam binding and none seems to crinkle like this one which could be because it is Rayon, If any body else has any thoughts on this I'd love to know......I kept this one really simple, the inside of the card is decorated as is the box, I'll be listing it in my etsy shop later so you can see more of it there.

Well I will have to dash or I won't get this added to the list in time.... ooooopppps....
