Thank You - Cute Bear!

Here's a quick Thank You Card that I made ... I've used one of Cuddly Buddly's mega cute images called 'Topiary Bear' - isn't he cute? perfect for lots of occasions and think I will be using him again soon... this is a card for male so I used red and black colour combo...


I paper-pieced the heart with Pink Petticoat Black 'Sprinkled with Twinkles' paper but I've allowed the flowers on original design to peep through. 


 I embossed the bottom of the card to jazz it up a bit and added ribbon and gems from stash... it was very quick to make but I think it is really cute! I coloured this little fella with Promarkers.

After going out in the horrid weather last week.... my cold came back on me big time... my throat felt like I'd swallowed razors on Friday night. Thankfully I feel a bit better today... I had a really good sleep last night and think it really helped...

Now I'm going to have potato cakes and cup of tea! Mmm.... and later might have some Spicy Parsnip Soup to clear my sinuses!! LOL

hope you are all keeping safe and warm! Thanks for all your lovely comments! :-)
Love and hugs
