Hi everyone, hope you're all well. This is the first of my scheduled posts, so fingers crossed! As it's the first Saturday of a brand new month (where is this year going?!) it's time for a new
Crafty Calendar challenge. Our theme this month is Teddy Bears Parade with the optional extra of lots of layers. It's been a while since I used a teddy image and I really enjoyed making my card for today. As ever, it's a fairly plain and simple one as I do find lots of layers difficult to do. The sweet little bear is from
LOTV and is one of their pre-coloured images - ideal when you're short of time! So cute but why are his eyebrows so high up, lol?!
Thanks for visiting today!

Hi Katina!
Thanks for joining my candy! :)
Your card may be simple but I really love it. I am also a big fan of sripey and dotty papers and not to much layers! The image is really sweet!
Hugs,

Hello Katina
I stumbled across your blog. Always a pleasure seeing another crafter getting pleasure from what they do.
I sometimes make my own Christmas cards, I make lino cuts and print them on my old hand press
Im'e a gilder and use gold leaf and imitation gold leaf rather a lot.
Have you thought of gilding onto paper?
It's really quite easy to gild onto paper, there are now modern gold sizes that are simple to use, and there are various ways to create antique and distressed finishes as well., like the crackle glaze and antique glaze.
If you have a moment, pop over to my site, there is quite a lot about gilding onto paper, in particular there is an old bookbinders recipe which you can use to make really authentic looking imitation vellums and parchment papers from ordinary papers.
Good luck to us all.
