Mulberry Bear

Hi Everyone!
Back today with a little project I made for the Crafter's Companion Challenge which this month is 'Floral'.

I decided to use a Mulberry Wood image of the little bear relaxing in the garden and coloured him with my Spectrum Noirs.

The box was made using the fab gable box pattern on one of the Sweet Treats boards from Crafter's Companion with papers printed from the matching CD. On the gable part of the box I used a pale green spotty patterned paper and debossed it with the honeycomb embossing folder for a bit of texture and to look like garden trellis. I then used a Martha Stewart border punch to give the effect of a wrought iron fence.

The flowers were created from the Die'sire quilling dies - small sunflower and bliss flower - inked with Fired Brick Distress Ink and sprayed with silver Spray and Sparkle.


Finally, I added some glittery gems for the centres of the flowers and matching gold coloured gems along the bottom.
Spectrum colours:
 GB8, GB10, TN7, TN2, FS2, 
DG3, CG2, CG1, EB1, EB2, DR1, DR3
TB2, IG2

I hope you like my take on the challenge. Why not pop over to the Facebook page and join in - you still have plenty of time to make your own floral creation!

Best wishes and bye for now
