New Beginnings

Today I'm sharing one of my New Year's Resolutions, which is to create cards for fun, not just for DT work.  And this is the first of my 'just for fun' cards for 2012.

I'm using a new LOTV image.  Since this was my first time colouring this image, I think I've coloured it wrong.  I thought the little bit behind the bear was part of his PJs, so I coloured it red, but I think that it is actually part of the pillow behind him.  Oh well. I'll know for next time.  LOL




Card Recipe:
Please pop on over to the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge Blog to see the other creations by the talented design team, and to enter our challenge.  I look forward to seeing your creations this week.

I've been inspired by:
Happy crafting.

Hi Annette
Such a sweet card Annette! Even when I enlarge your picture the cute little bear looks like he has got PJs with a little hoodie.

Lovely card Annette! Love that sweet bear and no one would ever notice anything 'wrong' with the colouring - looks perfect... I often stare at images wondering 'what that bit is' while I'm colouring, takes ages sometimes! Lisa x
