Bentley Bears

Two boring long days over finally...... The only good thing was that I was in Valletta and I could do some errands and some shopping in my lunch break he he 

Anyways, knowing that I would be able to go to the post office I quickly set off to prepare some cards which I needed to post. This is one of them which I made for my other brother who lives in Australia. His birthday is next month and I am so happy to be sending this so early ... in fact, one of the other cards I sent yesterday was a belated card ... so belated  : |  ... not showing that for now, until she receives it. Hope she likes it and errmm forgives me .......


For my card I used papers from Bearly-Mine, stars done with my Die Namics stars die which I had got from Simon Says and border punch with my MS stars punch.

The stamp was a freebie in the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine, coloured it with my promarkers and today I tried to do some clouds as well... was really nervous about it, so it doesn't show much, but next time I will try to be bolder.

I am entering my card in these challenges today:
- Simon Says Stamp - STARS and STRIPES
- Charizma Cards 21 - BOY OH BOY
- Lexi's Creations 41 - FATHER'S DAY or A MAN'S CARD
- Pollycraft Monday 95 - BE MY TEDDY BEAR
- Sweet Stamps 17 - MASCULINE
- Birthday Sundaes 11 - MASCULINE
- Dream Valley 8 - STAMP SOMETHING

Thank you for looking today... please hop by tomorrow as I got some fabulous news which made me squeal :) and I've been keeping secret for quite some time too woot woot  :)


Big hugs

    Awesome card Dora, your brother will surely love it. The papers are so fabulous, and of course your stars...and good for you [yay] doing clouds. I practised on scrap paper, got very confident, then messed up the real thing.
    Fab image too, really cute and fun.

    Hallo Dora, Love your card, I picked up this magazine too, the stamps are small but beautiful. You've coloured this one perfectly. I love the MS border punch, perfect for unisex cards. Hugs from Heidi x
