Toybox Treasures

For this week's challenge at My Time to Craft, the theme is Toy box Treasures. I don't expect there can be many toy boxes without a teddy and this little sweetie from PSX looks so cuddly.
I chose to make a New Baby card adding the sentiment using the Sizzix Wallflower set of alpha dies.
One little tip I've picked up along the way, is to stick some double sided tape on the back of the card before running it through the Cuttlebug, so that all I have to do once the letters are cut, is to peel and stick.
I stamped him in Memento, Rich Cocoa ink and added some colour with Copics.
A narrow ribbon bow softened the look of the Nestie die cut squares.
Have a great day!

  2. Beautiful card Chrissie... that teddy looks almost real! And such a good idea about putting tape on the back of your card before using the cuttlebug - now why didn't i think of that? lol
