Bear Go Wild

As soon as I saw this Bear which is part of the Baby Zoo Animals set at KPM Doodles I knew exactly what I wanted to create. I was thinking… blue skies and a lovely big leafy tree and lush thick grass and my bear would be at home, so to speak! I used my Cricut to cut the tree, grass, clouds and sentiment. I purchased some Adhesive Springs from a stand at craft fair called Close to my Heart which apparently is a big stamping company in USA. I used this fabulous gadget to bobble my bears head and he literally does GO WILD! My girlfriend Vicki suggested the wobbly eyes to match his wobbly head when I was chatting with her on the phone this morning and voilà! I used my Copic marker to colour in the Spring component so it matched his head(see up close photo). What was I thinking only buying one packet…dear Santa please add some more of these to my Christmas Stocking!!! I can’t stop playing with this card it’s so much fun wobbling!!!

We all love chocolate. so what better birthday card than one filled with chocolate!!!!!!! You could also fill it with something like Jewellery– a charm bracelet, earrings… really whatever takes your fancy. I made this using one piece of A4 cardboard. I also tried out cutting vinyl stars in my Cricut using the Plantin School Book Cartridge and a teal colour vinyl and they turned out brilliantly.I used these stars over the acetate window, and you can see they are shiny and add an extra element to the card. I used my Copic Sketch markers to colour in my Fairy Teddy and used my Copic Blender pen to create the dots on her wings and dress to tie my polka dot theme together. I floated the stars across the sky above her head to create that magical floating on air concept for my fairy teddy. I used 3 colours with the glitter to get just the right look for this sparkly card.
