Theodore's Card

When I was checking for new challenges from a couple of my favourites, I noticed some similarities in what was required:

Bearly Mine Designs

Bugaboo (Catch the Bug - Stella Says Sketch)

Since both of them looked as though they needed a ribbon and bow, I decided to see if I had some Bearly Mine Designs paper and a Bugaboo image that would work well together.  This is what I came up with:

The photograph hasn't come out the best - a wee bit out of focus (not sure how that happened as the camera was set on auto which usually focusses okay!).

So, as I said, the paper is from Bearly Mine Designs.  It is actually from a halloween paper set but I feel it works well with other occasions.  It works particularly well with the border die-cut from Nellie's Multi Frames and with the grosgrain ribbon and bow.  Not halloween looking at all I feel.

The image is one from Bugaboo that I have had for a while.  It is called Theodore.  I have coloured Theodore using four different copic markers - RV13, 100, Y38 and Y00.

The sentiment is an acrylic stamp of which I don't know the brand.  That's the difficulty with acrylic stamps as they get separated from their packaging and then you have no idea where you got it from!
