Teddy Bear /Flower shaped easel card

                                            Teddy Bear
                                            Flower Shaped Easel Card 
                                                                        




                                              Most of the materials used in this 
                         card are recycled ,unwanted things.
                         Last week i went to Lidl Super market ,there i saw 
                         these cardboard round pieces near the vegetable 
                         section.
                                                                                   
                                                                          (thanks Google)      


                                       the vegetable boxes have ventilation and these
                                       circles come with the package .
                                       Now i used three (i couldn't find more LoL)!!!
                                       to make the teddy .i dabbed the edges with ink
                                                                                  
                                             i cut  the smallest circle into two for ears
                                             the other two, used for body and face .
                                           for the hands and legs i used primark 
                                            paper bags handle .
                                                                                
                                                                          


                                                                           i added two black
                                                             seed beeds for the eyes,
                                                             and a red color split pin 
                                                             for nose .i stuck the head
                                                           slightly in a slanting position
                                                           so that the quilled Bouquet 
                                                          does not hide the face .
                                                           
                                                            for the pink color of cheeks
                                                              i used fresh chalks.
                                                          
                                                                             from this bag i
                                                          cut a round piece for the 
                                                           middle of the flower.
                                                          (i received a christmas present 
                                                            in this bag)
                                                                               
                                                                             
                                                               punched flowers from yogurt foil


                                                            
                                      here i have used midi and mini punches 
                                     for leaves and flowers .red ones are papers and
                                     silver flowers are yogurt foil 
                                     (thanks Ann martin).


                                   My teddy card is ready.
                         the card base i have used to make the easel flowers is 
                        from a old file/folder dividers   .
                                                      *************    
                        if the borders,edges go uneven while cutting 
                        the card i suggest to distress the edges with ink 
                        so it looks neat.
 Have a great Day .Byeeeeeeeeee.
