Pensive little bear....

Here's a Penny Black bear, I thought he looked as if he was having a pensive moment, so I made it a 'thinking of you' easel card. The circle easel card comes ready cut from Craftwork Cards, papers are Martha Stewart. I kept it simple, sometimes simple is best... 

Coloured with Promarkers (mainly the new limited edition Spring set, apart from his sailor suit trim, which is a navy flexmarker)
I inked the edges of some white Prima flowers to match his sailor suit, and the sentiment was stamped with the Navy flexmarker as well

Don't forget, if you want Card Candi, which a lot of you have been looking for in the USA, Blitzy has it on sale, loads of different colours, I think it's $1.99 for a pack (you get about 400 candi circles in a pack, so maybe you could join forces with a friend and split some packs between you to build up your collection, and if you join then invite your friend, you will get a $10 credit when she buys - win win). Don't forget to get some white ones, you can colour those with your markers so that they match your project perfectly


February - time to take stock of new year resolutions......


Growing my hair - FAILED - I lasted for about three weeks before I had a 'short back and sides'. It looks much better, I was beginning to feel like a topiary - you know, a big bushy ball on top of a stalk! Slap me if I start talking about growing it again


Cutting back on craft supplies and using what I already have - FAILED - well, they shouldn't keep bringing out all this enticing new stuff and waving it at me, and if I wasn't meant to go to a big craft fair in Frankfurt, God wouldn't have let us invent planes


Spending more time on housework than crafting - ermm, forgot about that one


Diet - Fail


Exercise - Fail


Other stuff..........
Fail
Fail
Fail
Fail
Ah well, there's always next year.....


Happy Valentines Day to all romantics out there, or Happy expensive-double-the-normal-price-red-roses day as it should be called.....
