My favourite bear

Hello lovely people,

Well, my weekend of working was not too bad and definitely made up for by a delightful day of crafting yesterday :-)

In fact, I was so chilled out from my day off that I nearly forgot what day it was and that it is time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday!
It's a lovely easy theme for you this week...

ANIMALS

We have Crafty Sentiments Designs as our sponsor this week with a prize of 3 digi images :-)

My favourite animals for cards are bears and my most favourite of all are LOTV bears.


This image is a real golden oldie and is the very first LOTV stamp I bought...and one I have used time and again.
This time I added some liquid pearls to the flower centres...even the really teeny tiny ones!


Copic colours;
Bear: E40/41/42/43
Pink flowers: R81/83/85
Lilac flowers / bow: V20/22/25/BV08
Aqua flowers: G0000/BG11/32
Leaves: G28
Cellophane / letter: C00/1/3
Tag: E40/41/42
Ground: C0/1/2/3/4/5

I hope you will pop over to Top Tip Tuesday and check out the fabulously creative projects from the rest of the team and there are some great tips for you too :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

    This is so pretty Kat, the way you have arranged the stitched mats and papers is very pleasing to the eye and then of course there is that gorgeous image. Your colouring is amazing and the added pearl dots is the perfect finishing touch.

    Oh wow, another beauty Kat! And a stamp I'd not gotten 'round to yet. Such a sweeties though, and really versatile too, I bet.

    Yet another gorgeous creation, Kat! I too have this cute James stamp, and haven't used him for an age. You have coloured him, and his big bouquet beautifully, and as always your stitching is amazing.

    Sweet little bear and I love the layout. Your stitching always looks so good too... I love stitched cards, it's like the stitching is an embellie all on it's own.
