Anniversary Bear

With all these DT & GDT posts I've been doing, I've neglected my other cards! It was my birthday last month plus my parents' anniversary on the same day. (I joke that I was their best anniversary present!).
Having tried my first upright z-fold card a little while ago, I wanted to do another one.  I used a gorgeous Conie Fong image 'Bella with Gift' that was a freebie over at Kit & Clowder.  This cute little bear just seemed perfect for an anniversary.
Other products I have used to create my card:

• Card blank, cardstock, twine and brad from my stash
• Papermania designer papers from the Red Hot Paper Pack Capsule Collection
• Promarkers - Burnt Sienna, Caramel, Sandstone, Cyan, Duck Egg, Cool Aqua, Crimson, Berry, Lipstick, Cool Grey 1 & 2, Canary, Lemon, Soft Lime, Mustard, Tulip & Buttercup

Flower Joy Fold

Since making my first Joy-Fold card, I have been thinking of adapting it to a different shape.  I created a template in Photoshop and first printed it out on paper to see how it would look.  I then realised it wouldn't stand up, but then neither do postcards and we still love those!

I have just purchased Making Cards magazine for the first time, so used the papers from there as they are so pretty. 

Other materials I have used for this card are:

• Card from my stash
• Whispers dye inks
• 3D foam pads
• Collall tacky glue
• Stix 2 permanent adhesive roller
