It's thursday and it has been two weeks since our last Elzybell challenge!! Can you believe how fast time flies??? Me either. Our challenge this week is a sketch by our own Elzybelle Rachel.
So, here is my card for the sketch and I kept really close to the original. I can't seem to stop using those bears, have you noticed that? lol Teddy flowers is just perfect for my mom for Mother's Day next weekend. A bouquet of flowers that will never die... I colored this with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol and added plenty of sparkle. I used the Sassafraslass paper as the inspiration for the colors in the flowers, so much easier than adding a rainbow of shades and finding no paper to match. The die cut flower is from Spellbinders and this is the first time I've used it. {It looked like the flower in the paper.}
I just got another order with more teddies from across the pond and I can not wait to ink those up. If anyone wants to pay me to stay home, just lemme know..there are not enough hours in the day! lol
Check out what all the other design team members are doing, here...
Thanks Rachel for the great sketch!!

A beeeeuatiful card Paula. I love these teddies so you can use them all the time, I don't mind. I'm still holding on with my elzybells order - don't really know why cause I know I want those teddies. Love the colours! You just reminded me that I have to make a mother's day card for my mom, oops!

Paula,another awesome card! This is so adorable! Love the layout, colors and that spellbinder flower. It does look like the flower in the paper! (I think I need to get my die out and use it as well!) thanks for the inspiration once again.
