Teds the bear with Pattie's Creations

Happy Friday everyone I hope that you are all well and have had a lovely week. 

Its our Wedding Anniversary today so were off out for the day...a little shopping and a lovely lunch at a favourite restaurant on the coast to celebrate 20 years ! Where has the time gone....x

Today also marks the start of a new Challenge for March over on the Pattie's Creations Design Challenge blog 

The challenge runs from the first Friday of the month and its an Anything Goes challenge as long as you use a digital or stamped image in your project,  so why not join in the challenge - Winners of the challenge will receive 2 digital stamps of your choice from Pattie's shop.

Pattie has some wonderful digital stamps in her Etsy Shop pattiescreations and there is also a freebie every month on the blog that you can use in your project if you want to!

For my March project, I decided to use the new Teds the Bear  digital stamp.

Springtime in the UK was always a lovely time with the spring flowers and showers of rain but here in Spain, we have the beautiful flowers all year but very little rain so today my card is to wish that we have some lovely Spring showers to prepare the garden for the hot Summer that is to follow very soon.

I resized the image in my graphics software to suit a 6" x 6" card before printing out on alcohol friendly card stock and colouring with my Promarkers (see below for the colours).

I created a simple rainy backdrop for Teds, by first stamping my sentiment in blue ink and the I have used a stencil and distress ink to create the rain drops. I  added a layer of clear stencil paste over the stencil to make the rain drops sparkle.  

Once this was completely dry I have adhered the panel to my base card with a layer of craft foam and then adhered Teds to the card with some low profile foam.

Just some simple clear sparkly confetti around the design to finish off the card.

I do hope that you like my card for today and don't forget to join in with this months challenge over on the blog.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
