Remember the days when you were never happier than when you had a big old cardboard box to play with and it could turn into anything you wanted it to? A racing car? A fire engine? A tank? A huge lorry? Yeah, I bet even girls wanted to drive one of those enormous lorries!
So, with that in mind, I knew exactly what stamp I wanted to use for LILI OF THE VALLEY "Fun & Games" challenge this week
I've used LOTV's Little Lorry Bear and painted him with Distress Inks. I've used a mixture of Basic Grey and Dovecraft papers and some Papermania cardstock. The card is from the Christmas pack and is supposed to be gold but it looks like yellow/mustard to me! I tried to distress the edges of the layers with Tea Dye ink but think I've been too cautious with the colour, it doesn't look strong enough now it's all togethre. Sentiment is also LOTV from their Clear Additions range. Finishing touches are handcut photocorners in Basic Grey and some Pebbles Inc Candy Dots.
As I think this would be great for a Little Bear of any age, I'm also entering him into CUTE CARD THURSDAY For His Eyes Only challenge.
Just before I go, here is a better pic of that bear!
