#107 Bear With Me

Good morning afternoon (sorry late with the post) and welcome to our first challenge of 2014. Our hostess Feebsy would love to see your creations along the theme of 'Bear With Me', in other words anything with a teddy bear, or more realistic image of a bear as the MAIN focal point of your project. Any sort of bear will be fine, so polar bear, grizzly bear, teddy bear etc., just make sure it is the MAIN focal point.

 Some inspiration from our DT 

 Feebsy

   

I've used Go Kreate's "Boo for You" die and Clearly Besotted's "Make A Wish" balloon dies to create my card.

Lin

   
I used a LOTV image called Teddy with Flower and coloured him with copics. The papers are from Craftwork Cards, as are the flowers. 

Josephine

 

 I've used an image I won ages ago. It's called Teddies Do Piano from Crafty Pad. I coloured with Promarkers and finished with some embossed card and piano key backing paper I put together in Photoshop Elements. 

 Fiona 
  
 For my card I have used a Pollycraft digi stamp called "Cuthbert Heart" which I have coloured with promarkers. The papers are from Tilly Daydream.

Elaine 

  
 I used a Marianne design die to cut the backing for my stamped image, it's a teddy Bo & Co rubber stamp and coloured her with pro markers. The flower is another Marianne design one and the flourish is Cheery Lynn.

Carole

   
 I have used a Hunkydory topper for my teddy! Yellows and oranges are a lovely warm combination so I stuck to that colour scheme on my 8x8 card.

Kimx 

  
I used a lovely Lili of the Valley image for my card and coloured it using Distress re-inkers. The background papers are from my stash and are also from Lili of the Valley. The sentiment is part of a brand new Woodware stamp.

Suze 

  
I don't have any bear stamps so I did a punch art bear, using various circle and oval punches. I used Kraft card, inked with Vintage Photo DI. The bear’s blanket is Stampin’ Up’s top note die. The heart is a cuttlebug die and the baby letters are from Papermania.
