Say it with Flowers

I know I am up early, but Ellie's sick bug has returned and I have not had much sleep, thanks to an argument next door and the water treatment plant alarm going off at silly o'clock this morning :(. 
Anyways,  I have been having a play with Letraset Aquamarkers ... I think I might still need a bit of practise!!
I stamped this cutie from LOTV up onto watercolour paper and coloured using aquamarkers.  I haven't inked this bear up for ages, isn't he sweet.  I kept everything simple, using the last of these papers from Doodlebug, and a gorgeous lace doilly.  The flowers are Prima and I added big brads.  The sentiment is rom Craftwork Cards.  I added this gorgeous spotty ribbon from Bo Bunny ... I have had it ages and have only just summoned up the courage to cut into it!

Hi Cathy

Your card is delightful, the image is relly sweey and the soft colours just perfect.

It looks like your work with Aquamarkers is coming along fine to me, I found once I got used to them I turn too them as a first choice.

Thank you so much for joining us at Stampalot Challenge this month, good luck and look forward to seeing you again.
