The Beary Best {CTD, FMS & TSG}


I wanted to play along with a couple of different challenges, so I inked up this new set from There She Goes. I just love the adorable bears illustrated by Torcio and the sentiments in this set are so sweet. My card was made for the Color Throwdown, the There She Goes-Anything Goes Challenge and I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. There is sponging on my card, so it is not "clean" so I won't be linking it up at FMS but I LOVED Jen Mitchell's sketch!



One area I would like to work on with my card making is using ribbon, I am trying to use it more because I have piles of it! But I always struggle with placement and bow tying. I love this ribbon from May Arts and decided to give it a whirl, I only wanted a little red for the accent. The paper is from My Mind's Eye, a nice vintage looking pack that is so pretty!!
