STAMPTACULAR # 112 BEARnecessities with Paper Play, Simon Says, Creative Inspirations and Flutter By Wednesdays

Hope you are all having a great weekend so far!  This week at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge our theme is "BEARnecessities".  Doesn't that make you think of Baloo in the Disney Jungle Book movie?  We want to see a card or project that includes at least one BEAR! Doesn’t matter what kind of bear or what the bear’s doing as long as we can see a bear you will have fulfilled this week’s challenge requirements! Oh…and don’t forget to stamp! After all, we don’t call this STAMPtacular for nothing!
We are sponsored by the lovely Bunny Zoe's Crafts who are offering a £10 gift certificate and also by the oh so sweet Teddybo who are giving away a winner's choice of three digis.  Huge thanks to both companies!
This is an anniversary card for my sister and her husband using Teddy Bo and Teddy Bea coloured with Copics and Promarkers.  My papers are Up Up and Away by Mindy Terasawa at First Addition which I picked up at Ali Paly - I got the last pack they had on the stall and I love them - every page has sparkle and shine.  A piece of ribbon and an MS lace punch separate the two triangular DPs.  And I've used the lace punch again on the base as the "stay".
I used half a page of another sheet for my base of this easel card and some Basic Grey for the pale green matting - it was a perfect match.  The butterfly is an MS punch cut from some Papermania paper I think and the sentiment, stamped directly onto the page, is by LOTV.  Julie got them for me for my Birthday back in January and I love them! 
And this is the finished card.   I am also entering into the following challenges:
Flutter By Wednesdays - who have an optional sketch but an "anything goes" main theme;
Creative Inspirations - where the challenge is for "lace and pearls" (my lace is paper punched and the butterfly has pearls on his body)
PaperPlay Challenges - who have a "Sparkle Galore" theme; and
Simon Says Stamp - who also want to see "Sparkle and Shine".
Please join us with all of your lovely bears at our challenge this week and check out the lovely makes of my teamies.  They are stunning and their photography is better than mine.  I just can't seem to take good pictures at the moment and I can't blame it on dull days - we've had fabulous weather!

Hi Lesley

I am loving these bears and just know I going to be caving in sometime soon and buying one or two LOL!! Yours are coloured so pefectly!!

Such a beautiful card for your Sister.

I love all the detail around the sentiment too. Gorgeous work.

I think that easel cards are the hardest thing to photograph so don't go beating yourself up .. .. your pictures are fine!!

Love Jules xx
