Happy news and a happy bear!

Hello lovely people,

Eeeeeeeeeek!  I am so excited, can you tell?!
I am over the moon to have been chosen to be part of the new LOTV Design Collective :-D
I can't quite believe that I am going to get to work with an amazingly talented group of people using my favourite crafting products!

While I try to catch my breath let me tell you about the new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday where our theme this time is...

MELLOW YELLOW

We are sponsored by Sami Stamps with a $12 gift card

Given my earlier news I feel it is highly appropriate that my card today features some of my lovely new LOTV goodies that I picked up at the Hobbycrafts show.

I've made a tent card, which I haven't done before and it was pretty easy to do, using my circle dies to cut the aperture.

Here's a view from the side so you can see the folded card at the bottom and how the image is stuck on the back panel.

These happy bears are going to be featuring a lot on my cards for the next few months, ok years probably!
I've gone for the fluffy look on this bear!

Anyone for another arty angled shot?  Go on then...

I decorated the back of the card to match... another first for me as I don't usually decorate the inside/back.
