Good evening all, and welcome to a new Oldie But A Goodie Challenge. I'm running a bit late today, and I have to confess that the reason is very simple ... I got my weeks wrong and didn't make my card in time - oh the shame!! had to rush my card out last night and then take a photo this morning before rushing out the door for work ... so hope you will all be kind!!
Thanks so much to everyone who entered last fortnights's OBAG challenge - fab entries as always. Don't forget to check the main challenge blog to see if you are a winner.
So onto this fortnight's challenge, which has been chosen by Liza, and is a colour combo
Pink/Blue & Brown
We also have a fabulous prize by our new regular sponsor Stämpelkällan
which is these darling stamps ...
Don't forget that in order to be eligible for the prize you should submit a new piece of work and use a stamped image (not a digi) that is at least 6 months old ... so have a little riffle through your stamp box to find an old but loved stamp ... and of course have fun!! :-)
The other DT ladies have made some gorgeous samples - here's mine (at last!)
Now I have to confess that I am not big on brown when it comes to crafting, so I immediately thought of incorporating the brown through an animal, with most of the decorative elements being pink and blue. So what better than this adorable LotV bear ... would you look at his little face?? I think this little guy was released in either spring or summer last year, so he's just nicely old enough for the rules of this challenge :-)
Recipe:
Main image: LotV "Bear and Butterflies" coloured with Promarkers and Copics, and butterfly wings dusted with glamour dust;
Sentiment: Penny Black "Birthday Dreams" (3849E);
Papers: Pink Petticoat "Vintage Rose";
Supplies: cherry blossoms and lace from Wild Orchid Crafts; Dovecraft dragonfly brad; ribbon from my stash;
Tools: "Labels 3" nestabilities; Marianne D Creatables doily die; Cuttlebug "birds and swirls" embossing folder (on the doily).

Such a pretty card Pauline. Love your colour combo and using the brown for the teddy was a good idea, especially if you don't like brown... The embossed nestie suits our challenge perfectly, thanks for joining us at Teddy Stampers. x
