                                          MOVIE INSPIRATION

My inspiration is Pirates of the Caribbean and here is my DT creation.

Popcorn Bear is dressing up for a movie party.
He's sent his invitations and tickets.
There's popcorn,  a treat bag and a place setting for his name.

I used a template for the popcorn box but so sorry I can't find it to link.
I always like to give credit to the creator of the templates I use. I have to give credit to hubby he worked out where the lines needed to be.
The image is from the Golfing Popcorn plate.
 I cut away his golf clubs and added items from the Pirate stamp set by Woodware.
He's coloured with copics E30 E31 E57
Hat C1 C3 C5 the scarf is stamped onto a Doodle Bug paper.
I had to print onto the back to make it fit... and draw the lines with a fine liner.
For that added sparkle the sword and jewels are coloured with sakura stardust pens.

The text on the map I did on the computer and the images are from the woodware pirate stamp set.
Edit: Thank you to Woodware DT for the inspiration for the map.
Distressed with TH vintage photo ink lightly spritz with water.
The galleon is from my die cut by cross-cuts which I coloured with copics... made a simple stand and added sizzix die cut waves at the back.

Have a look at my other teamies they've come up with some brilliant ideas.
I'd love to see your creations... so go on... are you up for the challenge?
Hope so.

Thanks for stopping by have a wonderful weekend,

Love Cherie   //*.*\\
ps the sweets and popcorn didn't last long!!!!

Teddy Stampers Challenge # Spring

What's more beautiful than a spring day, bright yellow daffodils bathed in sunshine, that was my inspiration for my DT card.

So the  new challenge for you today over at Teddy Stampers, is a creation with spring in mind.

Just a reminder you must have a stamped or digi TEDDY BEAR image on your creation.

My fellow DT members have some gorgeous inspiration for you.

I'm entering my card into the Just Cute Bears challenge too.
 It was the turn of the lovely Annie to choose the challenge, which is a colour combo of yellow and green gorgeous spring colours.




I love making easel cards, but they are a bit difficult to photograph. the base is always in the shadow and so the colour comes out darker. If anyone has any tips i'd be very greatful.
My image is Popcorn Bear Someone Special stamp set by Crafter's Companion.
 I'ts a lovely large image but as you can see at the top you can use a portion of it.

As promised the copic and Promarker colours are:
bear: E30 31 33 34 and E08 on his foot
daffodils: Y11 15 YR23
greens: G14 promarker pear green
duck: Y11 promarker honeycomb
shading around bear: C1 + blender
background: I used chalk.

The DT papers are by Brenda Walton from my stash
Martha Stewart picket fence punch
I tried in vain to get paper daffodils, had to settle for these silk ones. There were lots of Easter goodies reduced at Hobbycraft in store last Saturday. I got 2 Easter punches by Martha Stewart for £8.99 each!!!
I put pearl brads in the center of the flowers, from  the Hobby House
 and a punch by McGill for the leaves.

sentiment by Stamping Up

Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend.
