Just a quick Inspiration challenge
Hey there,
I have promised myself to get to bed early tonight! I have been slipping back into the staying up way too late at night, and then getting up at 5:30am just is not enough sleep!
Okay so I have managed to quickly whip up a card for Beate’s Inspiration challenge from last week……just before she loads up the next one tommorrow.
Now the Inpsiration image was quite different!…you will see why……
So what to do with that one???? I had to think about it for a little while, but ended up coming up with this:
Now since it was a childs room, I thought I would stick with that type of theme. I have started with Soft sky for the base, and cut the cardstock into a 12 cm square card. I layered the top with some watercolour paper to match what I used for the image. And then along the bottom I have used some Pumpkin pie prints DS paper. I have then double paper pierced a border around them all.
I used some Soft sky double stitched ribbon through the centre, and tied off a greeting, which had been punched out with my circle punches and tied up with some twine.
Next I stamped the little teddy bear from the Bundle of Joy stamp set with my Stazon ink pad into watercolour paper. I have watercoloured the image with my aquapainter, and ink pads (caramel, cocoa, and choc chip), and double mounted it onto some Close to cocoa cardstock.
Then last of all I added the 3 antique brass brads mounted above little punched circle of Cocoa cardstock.
I struggled with not adding more onto this card, but the image is fairly blank in places, and thought I probably be best to leave it alone.
Right off to bed, where I really need to be!
Take care!
oh keesh very sweet …. please tell that is NOT a sock monkey on that chair!!
Love your interpretation of the challenge - that bear is just adorable and your coloring is beautiful! What a sweet card!! Hope you get a good night’s sleep girl!!!
Oh very cute! I brought this stamp set cause I love it, but I never know what to do with it!

I love this card - only wish now I had the stamps and paper my friend just had a baby boy and I have a card to make. one day one day.
Nice card Keesh, you did great as that was’nt an easy challenge i reckon:)
Please continue to get rest as you wont be able to cope otherwise, remember you have little ones and they want mum’s 100% attention before they go out the door:)
