Happy St George's Day

 

Wishing Teddy Stars

 

Wishing Teddy Stars 

Once a year on the 18th day of April at precisely 12.10am a gazillion sparkling stars fall to earth. These are not your everyday type of Stars they are Beary special. Each Star magically finds its way to a good and much loved teddy bear on earth. The special Stars bring each teddy one wish. 

The Teddies hold a Star  tightly in their paws as they make their wish, and once the wish is made it disappears.

Aloysius being the oldest and wisest bear  always made the first wish, and it was always the same "I wish for Peace on Earth" he said sincerely.

Next it was Princess Tammy's  wish "I wish for an end to illness, disease, and disability"

George was the next to pick up his star and make a  wish "I wish for everyone to be honest, decent and kind" he said very strongly.

It should have been Bernard's  turn  next, but he was busy taking a nap.

So Rose  made her wish, "I wish for all wrongs to be put right " she roared

 

I painted a Chipboard plaque with Gesso and when dry I covered it with Grandmas Teacup paint

 

The ring a Ring of Rosie's rhyme fitted nicely around the edge. I stamped it using a  versamarker stamp pad, and embossed with white embossing powder.

 

The lovely teddies enjoyed being stamped and coloured, and having extra adornments such as scarves, bows, gems etc

 

Chipboard letters spelled T e d d I e s and I painted them white, and used the flourish from the Nursery Rhyme set to stamp over them with versamarker.I embossed this using blue embossing powder, keeping the blue and white background theme.

The Teddies all shuffled around until they were happy with their positions, and 

I adhered them with 3 D sticky pads.

 

The all important Magical Stars were the finishing touch. I spread Slap It on through the Stars stencil and shook lashing of Unicorn Sparkles over the top.When dry I cut the Stars out and adhered them onto the plaque with the teddies.

You could paint the teddies different colours to give them their own characters. You could also add hats and other clothing and  adornments to dress them up!

Thread some white organza ribbon through your plaque to hangs and display as desired.

The Teddies and myself thank you,so much for stopping by to visit us today.

Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens

 

I made this card especially for the current challenge at Fashionable Stamping This months theme is to use the first verse from  "My Favourite things" from The Sound of Music. Of  course ever since reading this I  have been singing that song - luckily for everyone else I have only been singing it in my head!

"Raindrops on roses

And whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favourite things"

I thought about what stamps and whatnots I had  to fit in with the theme. I decided to use a Kraft card for the brown paper packages, and tied a raffia ribbon for the string. For the raindrops I used a versamarker pen on a raindrops stencil, and then followed with clear embossing powder. I don't often emboss as I am unable to reach the electric plug, but someone put it on for me today, so I embossed away! I used a cat stamp for whiskers on kittens, and a window outlooking onto a rainy day. I drew a vase and a rose, to encompass the rose in the song.I added a "Happy Rainy Day" sentiment at the bottom.

It is a bit of an unusual card but my Mum is a Sound of Music fan, and she said she would like it!
