Good Morning everyone
Mid way through may we have another vintage make for we love stamping or you can go with the anything goes option
. I wanted to go completely different to my first card and looking through my stash had this lovely old bear which reminds me of my teddy bear as a child so i went with muted colours, old script, torn paper & vellum for a vintage vibe.

7x5.5" cream card base - I went with cream as softer for a more aged feel. I watercoloured the bear with distress inks ' dusty concord, stormy sky & forest moss' and a little 'black soot' for shadows, then cut him out.
I found this old script paper in my stash and tore around the edges for it to fit my card and blended the same distress inks around the edges and then adhered to the card front. I then tore a piece of vellum big enough to fit the bear and added this to the card with a little scrap of the script paper. I then gently curved the bear and added with pinflair glue gel.
The bear saying came with the stamp so i cut it out, lightly inked, matted onto some of the cream card and added to the top left corner with a little blue button to finish.
Just a close up on Mr Bear, you can see the vellum behind him better here
