OK, so the weather changes from cold to hot on the same day, my nose is running, I'm sneeezing, it's raining outside - fall is on its way. So my card today is inspired by that 'in between' period and the theme of bear.
The image was a freebie one, a few years ago, colored with Promarkers. There's lots of texture with hessian paper, corrugated paper and string. I added a few flowers and glitter enamel dots.
I also want to say congrats to Mervi, she's celebrating her 10th blogaversary - well done!
This card is for:
Allsorts - #484 Bears
Brown Sugar – #282 All creatures great and small
The Library Challenge - #15 Winnie the Pooh
Mervis's 10th blogaversary Challenge - Birthday
