Hi everyone, I'd just like to thank you all for the lovely comments and good wishes yesterday for my new venture with the digi-stamps, it's very much appreciated. Special big thank you to Sally-Ann and Janet for their support. My list isn't endless unlike Kate Winslets' so I'll stop here!I intended to have this card posted yesterday but time ran away, it's for the SCSC where the challenge this week is hearts. I've used my Bearing Love digi-stamp (link at top of sidebar) and coloured with promarkers then sponged with distress ink. The layers are chocolate brown coredinations card which is distressed on the edges and Doodlebug sparkly hearts paper (it hurt to cut it, but I did and it's beautifully sparkly IRL), they're mounted with dimension tape. To decorate I added brown satin ribbon, punched three hearts from the Doodlebug paper and sponged round the edges of the white card blank with distress ink.
Materials:
Image: Sketching Stamper Digi-stamp 'Bearing Love'
Paper: Coredinations Chocolate, Doodlebug Cinnamon hearts, white card
Colouring: Promarkers in red, ruby, apricot, spice, terracotta, cocoa, sandstone, raw sienna, gold, ice grey 2, ice grey 4, black. Ranger distress ink in vintage photo
Embellishment: Brown satin ribbon, heart punch, dimension tape, sponge, distressing tool

This is such an adorable card Chris and your bear is beautifully coloured as always. Be warned though that I have downloaded this teddy from you and he will 'bear' no resemblance to the one on this card when I have coloured him in lol! I love the heart paper its very striking.
