There are more important things ~ friendship…


Sharing a card featuring a cute freebie image from Elizabeth Dulemba called Potter Bear.


A crafty friend has a bear named Bill who loves Harry Potter and it was his birthday so I went Googling for a bear and Harry Potter and found this fab image.  It was crafty serendipity!  I’ve coloured Potter Bear to look like my friend’s bear, hence why I don’t think his scarf is actually right for Harry Potter, it’s the colour of the scarf Bill wears.

To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I just turned the circle element into an oval to better fit my image.  I made the rectangular element with a stencilled pattern and some glow in the dark Nuvo drops.  I made the stencil from a flourish die that kinda looked like spell magic swirls coming off a wand.  I then added some black with PanPastels to create the rectangle.

Over at Moving Along With the Times they are looking for wild animals.  Although my bear looks domesticated they are actually wild animals so hoping he still qualifies.  As this card was going to a male bear (yeah, I know he wouldn’t know but there’s a whole story behind Bill and making cards that bring a smile to people’s faces is why we craft) I kept it CAS with no embellies other than the chippies to add the sentiment.  So I’m also entering it in the current challenge at Sweet Stampin’.

Oh, and I visited Bill and his Mamma Bear today and he loved his card!
