Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Christy to host this week and she has a clean and simple challenge for us with a fun theme:
Bears! I knew immediately that I was going to feature Winnie The Pooh on my card today; take a look at what I came up with::
Here's the low-down on today's card:
My challenge today was in keeping my card truly clean and simple: minimal layers and embellishments, lots of clean 'white' space. In the end I decided that this image of Pooh writing a letter would pair nicely with that favourite of sentiment bundles, Words of Beauty, for a sweet 'because' card. I diecut the word 'because', layering Golden Glow and Early Espresso cardstocks to echo the colouring of the bear, and separated out the 'you've been on my mind' into one long stamped sentiment to run beneath the diecut. I added my Pooh bear, fussy cut from the Silly Old Bear designer series paper, above this using dimensionals:
A couple of Golden Glow In Color enamel dots complete my card.
This was actually the third card I made for this week's challenge, but I ended up discounting the other too as not CAS enough. That does mean though that I have 2 more cards to share with you this week, both featuring this silly old bear :-)

Enjoy your day; I am out on a social walk with some friends from the gym this morning, then this afternoon I will be attempting to coral the James Junior into some sort of shape to take him back to university tomorrow for the start of the new academic year. He is in a rather fragile state, following his final cricket match yesterday. Not only did they win the game, but they came top of their league and will now promote for the fourth year in a row. This led to much celebrating late into the night! I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
