There's no excuse or you not to join us this week at the Just Cute Bears Challenge, as our theme is:
'Anything Goes'
I've made a little box, which I've filled with the bear stamped images and embellishments I'm sending to the lucky winner of last week's 'Monochrome' challenge...but I'm not showing you the contents, as I'd like it to be a surprise for the recipient.
The box is roughly a six inch square, and I covered the top with scraps of BasicGrey 'Bittersweet' papers to create a patchwork effect. To give an impression of fabric, I distressed the edges, and added some faux stitching using my Cutterbee Bug and a white gel pen. I also decorated the sides of the box with more scraps of the papers. I made a tag using Nesties, and added one of my favourite bear images 'Rainin' Daisies' by Penny Black.
Here's a better view of the top of the box:
I'm going to enter this into a couple of other challenges:
- Penny Black Saturday Challenge: 'Paper Patch'
- One Stop Craft Challenge: 'Pink & Brown'
This is gorgeous Helen....i want it!...lol.
