You Are So Very Very Special


Yesterday was my dear husband's birthday, so I was up 'til silly o'clock on Wednesday evening beavering away to get his card done ... I seem somehow to have got really behind with everything recently, but despite the late hour when I finished this one (12:45 am, with work the next morning!!) I'm actually pretty pleased with it - here it is.

 
Yet again I have used an adorable LotV bear ... I can't get enough of them! This cute little guy has been in my stash since last year, so I though that despite the awful weather, now was the right time for him to go for a little drive with the top down lol!

 
 Stamps: LotV "Mini Bear"; sentiments from LotV "Everyday "Grungy Messages" set;
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Papers: LotV "Nitwits - Petal Fresh" (another purchase from my trip to Farsley!! :-) )
Supplies: Jute ribbon and twine from The Ribbon Girl; wooden heart buttons from my stash;
Tools: large and lacy circle nestabilities; Stephanie Weightman alphabet die set (from Hobbycraft).

 
 Challenges:
Crafty Ribbons #41 - One For The Boys
Crafty Cardmakers #86 - Masculine Birthday Featuring Technology Or A Gadget
Deep Ocean #47 - Cute & Cuddly
I ♥ Promarkers #159 - Ribbons & Bows

Thanks for visiting today.
Hugs,
