Wizards, bears and christmas all in one day

Hi everyone

Firstly can I thank all my lovely followers for their fab comments and welcome any new ones.  I am still new to this and really appreciate all your lovely comments.

I have had a crafty few days, but have only just managed to get round to photographing them so here they are:

Forever Friends Christmas Bear

I love these cute bears and this one is stamped and then coloured with promarkers and glittered with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue.  Then mounted onto Papermania Glitter Card.  The backing paper is forever friends and the embossed strip was done using my cuttlebug.  To finish I added a FF sticker sentiment and three card candies which I then finished with glossy accents.  Quick and simple but quite effective.  

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations Paint- Embossing

Sentimental Sundays - Anything Goes

Southern Girls - Boys/Men

Teddy Bea - this is the first Teddy Bea image I have used and I am thrilled with the results.  I have always admired them and have finally taken the plunge.  I think she looks gorgeous in pinks and lavenders.

Bea was of course coloured with promarkers and then matted and layered using pink papermania cardstock and a candy stripe pink paper from Craft Creations.  The other two ink papers were from the First Edition Sweet Owl collection.  I made the double bow using ribbons from my stash.  The LOTV sentiment was stamped and then coloured with promarkers, the circles were then cut on the cuttlebug using nesties and layered.  Anitas gems were used to finish this off.  The final touch a few co-ordinating card candies.

Three little girls playing dress up .........

Hi Everyone, Thanks for dropping in and having a look around.

My card is a Triple Aspect card with all sides decorated.

  

To start I stuck three rectangular cards together, these were made by scoring and folding three A5 sheets of Papermania Card Stock, I chose a different coloured card for each, as I wanted the colours of the background to blend with my chosen promarker colours. 

This is the front of the card

 This is the back of the card

Next I stamped any three little girls - my chosen theme being dressing up - and coloured them with promarkers using the same colours throughout, mounting each one in it's own frame (cut with the Cricut)  These are the close up pictures of the individual frames of the card

My papers are from the Flower Garden Magnolia collection.  I decorated all the separate panels of the card, front and back with these.  My girlies were then mounted and layered onto their respective backgrounds.  A papermania bow was added and three papermania buttons down each side panel. 

Swirls were added to each of the outside back panels (these were cut on the cricut) and three pearls added to each one.

A doily cut using the X-cut Lace die is the centre piece of the back of the card.  Again a pearl is added for dimension.  This was then mounted onto the centre back panel of the card.

Lastly two sentiments from LOTV were stamped and cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities.  These were mounted onto the front of the card using sticky pads.

There are several challenges I wish to enter this card into and also one DT call.
