Less is More - Week 68 - Theme

A very warm hello to everyone out in blogland today - and I really mean that!!!  It's really hot out there today and I've been doing some planting and was "glowing" ......... so thought I'd better come inside and cool down.  Just finished off my card for the Less is More challenge which this week is to make a card for a baby or child.  As I've made a few baby cards recently I decided to make a child's card and decided to use this teddy bear fishing stamp for the main focus of the card.  Unfortunately all it's got on the side of the stamp is copyright Bramley Crafts/MH but no name of the character.  I stamped it using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and coloured with my Letraset Flexmarkers and then cut out by hand.  The mat is a scalloped square nestie and I used a Martha Stewart punch on the border and added a ribbon.  On the base card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then scored lines down each side.  I've added some Glossy Accents to the jar and the teddy's eyes.  The sentiment was computer generated.

Hope you're all enjoying this glorious weather - fingers crossed there's more to come.

Happy crafting.

  1. He's rather a smart teddy and I like the way you've repeated the square with scalloped edge for the number in the corner.
