I've added a small hint of bronze (to match the bear's fur) in the form of a narrow strip of satin ribbon on the base matt (mainly to cover where I'd joined two smaller pieces of yellow card together beneath the image panel).<div><span face=""><span face=""><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGNRyHuCh-qmJa-oRTmYEvAQhAInT-sdgIwO2dFsNyWwR2T1HLYi5AOafeS__ZHhtU9cLpzWSWnSuP1bnj1YA7mK0Ce7eGVY7Bo9PR3uahLfF4QnwRs4NDBTHIzbj5FTv8liz-drepgIyIfNXKHF9YvfO-yEStE6KW8nNdPHXBzrZDYjIrq3TQ4_qtaXxc/s1000/NettysCards%202976%20240303.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGNRyHuCh-qmJa-oRTmYEvAQhAInT-sdgIwO2dFsNyWwR2T1HLYi5AOafeS__ZHhtU9cLpzWSWnSuP1bnj1YA7mK0Ce7eGVY7Bo9PR3uahLfF4QnwRs4NDBTHIzbj5FTv8liz-drepgIyIfNXKHF9YvfO-yEStE6KW8nNdPHXBzrZDYjIrq3TQ4_qtaXxc/w400-h400/NettysCards%202976%20240303.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

<div style="color: #333333;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #333333;">Most of the times my cards are made for women, but I also love making cards for my nephews. They are still young, so I don't have to make a very masculine card, which makes everything a bit easier. Both boys can speak english now, so extra bonus that I can use this fun sentiment on a card that I have made for them!</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span face=""><span face="">I confess that I do love the benefits of a digital stamp, including storage, re-sizing, masking and merging and the confidence that there's a reduced chance of wasting watercolour card on a mis-print, but I also still love my physical stamps. There's something special about peeling back the rubber and seeing a perfectly inked image on the card! I must admit this image was a particular challenge in that respect, and I had several increasingly frustating attempts before I got a fully stamped image becuase it's such a big stamp.</span></span><div><span face=""><span face=""><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmujaSf3GUpuqhKaxBnekinmuMHGTLeqAew3w04zG7DweiqdGL2mn9UtW5I0HPDVAgoIUlSg5d16hJZeAARMATuV5l3bsg3Sbrb1_rYycAQ2wW3Lmym9_q0YQUZx8S5SPqvYMipVEx0EBb9EWOFvnVq1txFHymUpkWIBUFDwKB6Fgx5PkXUxnTacRsoON/s886/NettysCards%202960%20240128.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="885" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmujaSf3GUpuqhKaxBnekinmuMHGTLeqAew3w04zG7DweiqdGL2mn9UtW5I0HPDVAgoIUlSg5d16hJZeAARMATuV5l3bsg3Sbrb1_rYycAQ2wW3Lmym9_q0YQUZx8S5SPqvYMipVEx0EBb9EWOFvnVq1txFHymUpkWIBUFDwKB6Fgx5PkXUxnTacRsoON/w400-h400/NettysCards%202960%20240128.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div></span></div></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

<span style="color: black; text-align: left;"> I really love working with digital stamps, because they have a lot of advantages. You can print in every size you want, you are able to mirror your image and if you know how, you can easily combine more images at once without having to mask your images. I also love it that these images don't take up any space in your craft room. But I also love using real stamps, because they have their own advantages, but most of the times I use digital stamps.</span></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdS6trKMkGfENnFUT1U_uTqlpU8ScxKWJBNmBDdN8SjWPtzuUGm5dwzV6yFbxmcpJv1ISpS5TmBiIZqRWJuBU8ukuU-1LdFkJ_HKgBXsmx2Ic1u7qBkNUGSWYq0A_Hb2jTA1nq84QoogFV4GvFzClvmzWjJtzbgYw5I5vkH7QhUABccLGFp9BGHGPUtG0/s800/As%20you%20like%20it%20161-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdS6trKMkGfENnFUT1U_uTqlpU8ScxKWJBNmBDdN8SjWPtzuUGm5dwzV6yFbxmcpJv1ISpS5TmBiIZqRWJuBU8ukuU-1LdFkJ_HKgBXsmx2Ic1u7qBkNUGSWYq0A_Hb2jTA1nq84QoogFV4GvFzClvmzWjJtzbgYw5I5vkH7QhUABccLGFp9BGHGPUtG0/w400-h400/As%20you%20like%20it%20161-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div>I am definitely a fan of the more subtle sheen of a pearl than the bling impact of a gem. I have pearl embelishments in almost every colour, and my gem stash barely gets used, so it's not difficult to see where my preferences lie!

I love the fabulous images and the funny colour combinations you can use on halloween cards. You can make really scary cards, but cute halloween cards are also very fun to make.</span></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span face=""><span face="">I've always adored donkeys and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, so it wasn't a difficult choice for me. I had a soft toy donkey when I was a baby and nearly 50 years later I still have him. Thankfully I live close enough to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary that I can visit real donkeys fairly often too. It's a great day out if you are ever passing. Today I'll have to make do with a 2D version in the form of my donkey themed card.</span></span><div><br /></div><div><span face=""><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ycn-RtU5vWHYtkSYtuuUhKC0PFBlpdV4uelRWSKhYB4JrOKyyKe1y3LpdXUJmQoyQmU4CZgoqVbAD7VbHJuL2ZSF38ch8aunebN-fGJazYTcijt3EAo6aUec_Vhbtml1TIL9iD-lXriXYFdefr0Fhm517EKf9w3ZBv1p8kpuom3nxApPyxdmbAqxPDSx/s1000/NettysCards%202902%20230822.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ycn-RtU5vWHYtkSYtuuUhKC0PFBlpdV4uelRWSKhYB4JrOKyyKe1y3LpdXUJmQoyQmU4CZgoqVbAD7VbHJuL2ZSF38ch8aunebN-fGJazYTcijt3EAo6aUec_Vhbtml1TIL9iD-lXriXYFdefr0Fhm517EKf9w3ZBv1p8kpuom3nxApPyxdmbAqxPDSx/w400-h400/NettysCards%202902%20230822.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><span face=""><br /></span></div></span></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br />

<div>My favourite animal is a mouse. It was my nickname that my mother gave me when I was young. I think they look cute with their big ears. On this card I also used the favourite animal from my little nephew Niek. He loves crocodiles, so when I saw this image, I had to make a card with it.</div>

Most of the times when I use it I just use one sheet with a subtle pattern. But I also really enjoy making cards with just cardstock. Sometimes it is coloured and sometimes it is white and I am adding my own colour with ink blending. For our challenge today I decided to go for coloured cardstock, pink and white and I don't think my card needs anything else.</span></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Definitely brights for me. I'm not fond of pastel or dark (black, grey, brown) colours. Colors can influence me. Dark colors make me sad while bright colors brighten up my day. In combination with black and white, the brightness of the colors is enhanced.</span></div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">There's a time and a place for blingy gems, and that, for me, is Christmas for that little bit of sparkle.
