I don't know about you but it seems to be taking me a while to get back into any sort of routine. That includes crafting! After a 2 week break, I'm finding it difficult to create anything - my enthusiasm is coming in fits and starts. One quick burst enabled me to come up with a simple birthday card using a Teddy Bea digi. I think I'm leaning towards more simple cards this year, trying to focus on the image more than anything else - I'm not that good at loading my cards up with a ton of embellishments, even after looking at all the fabulous creations out there for inspiration.
Anyway, here we go with a simple card; the image coloured with Copics and a touch of bling added with some adhesive pearls - I also smudged some chalk ink around the edges and added my own computer generated sentiment.
I would like to enter this into the challenges at Teddy Bo (birthdays), Oozak (pink and bling) , A and T Emerald Faeries (Celebration) , Through the Craftroom Door, Top Tip Tuesday (fur or feathers) , Ooh La La Creations (birthday).
Thanks for popping in to take a look :)

It doesn't need another single thing. It's perfection! I'm finding myself leaning towards the simpler too Dawn. I enjoy the coloring so much but when it comes time to add stuff to the card I start stressing. I've never been very good at all the window dressing some people can do. I love the soft, sweet, simplicity of your card---a LOT! Hugs!
