Good morning all, sorry I'm late posting my card this morning! I have to admit I was making after an amazing trip to the NEC and was so tired that I feel asleep on the sofa before writing up my post! I got to meet the amazing,
Sonia,
Jacqui and
Bev but was sorry to miss meeting my lovely teamie Cathy. It was so busy there, it's the first time I've been on a Saturday or to the November shows. I think I will definitely choose a different day next time!
Anyway, enough chit chat, that's not why you've stopped by! It was great to see so many of you take part in the last challenge, you all loved
Helen's sketch as much as we did. This weeks
Just Cute Bears & Friends challenge is Black, White and one other colour of your choice. My first thought was red and I think a number of the girlies had the same idea!
I did have to change direction with my card as I was going to use a DP from my pc but my poor cat had a little accident on my printer, so I've had to go with an embossed background instead. although it doesn't seem to show up so well in the photo as I was using pearlescent cardstock.
I decided against colouring my bear in partly because to me Forever Friends bears are only one colour but the other reason was I thought it made the rose stand out more and give a striking effect. The rose has been coloured in with a spica pen over the copics. I used my new (purchased yesterday!) MS deep edge punch! Great effect, pain to stick down! The roses have also been spritzed with Pearl Glimmer Mist which I also purchased yesterday. I finished off with some red gems on the punched centres and at the bottom of the card.
Please check out the rest of the girls cards, they are just stunning this week. I hope you'll take part.
Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.

Very pretty Sarah. I love how the red flowers just pop off the page. Sounds like you had lots of fun shopping yesterday and added some nice goodies to your stash.
