Consider yourself Hugged cards

I made these cards this afternoon for 2 friends one in England one in Belgium that haven't been well and have been going through some rough times so I thought I would make them a card each. The first one turned out so cute using my Teddy Bear Parade cartridge I used a blue card and then a bright pink background which I put through my Cuttlebug dots folder. I then used a scrap of blue and white check paper and stamped the Consider yourself Hugged greeting. I added a little foam butterfly. The teddy I cut out with the cartridge but instead of just leaving the eyes black I used some white glossy accent with a touch of black to make my own goggly eyes and on her nose. For the skirt I cut up a tiny bit of tuille and gathered it together and then used a tiny bit of trim for a belt and voila a cute tutu skirt.

For the other card I usd a blue card again and layered some floral paper and then stamped the same greeting. I used Straight from the nest and Flower Shoppe to cut out the flower and leaves. I used a Peachy Keen face stamp and then used a white gel pen to do faux stitching and colour in the eyes.
