Itsy Bitsy Bear Lonely in the Chair


Another armchair card; I'll probably do a million of 'em before I get tired of this stamp (or you do!) :0) I tried adding baseboard; it looked too stark and took the focus away from this teensy weensy itsy bitsy bear. ["Isty Bitsy Bear" can be found here; the armchair can be found here; Eat Cake Graphics, of course.]

The paper used on the chair is retired S.U. designer series, though the pattern "Le Jardin" (page 171) is still available in different colours. The chair's legs are water-coloured with classic chocolate chip ink. The wallpaper is Basic Grey (Pre-169 Phlordilee aged & confused Phresh & Phunky) again.

The phrase is just hand-scrawled with a black stamp'n'write marker, not sure that I'm happy with my handwriting, but what'ya'do? The wood texture is printed from a download on white cardstock (from this super-duper website.)

Thanks for lookin'

Makes me feel sad for the little bitty bear too!
I think your handwriting looks great and until I read that is was actually your handwriting, I had assumed it was a stamp!! There you go, I always think my own handwriting looks icky, but other people say that it looks lovely ~ go figure!

Thanks guys! Yes, I feel guilty for puttin' that lil' bear there all by his lonesome.So glad that my handwriting passed for a stamp, woohoo! :0)

"Princess Matilda," I keep meaning to ask if your first name is a secret. (I know it from our emails, but it's not on your blog, so I haven't been using it.) :0) Smart to keep it off the net, Mel
