For my card, I used an older stamp set from Waffle Flower. It is whimsical and it made me smile, which I hope it does as well for the recipient. I had fun creating it and also coming up with a silly little back story for the scene.
Our little bear buddy, Fred, has been at the local Farmer's Market and is now traveling home, accompanied by his friends Bert the Bee and Veronica the Birdie, where he'll plant all the flowers he bought. Fred is very fond of flowers and fills his yard with them every year. ;-)
Do you ever create stories about cards as you're making them? I don't always but this time it seemed so fitting.
Aren't those images delightful? They were all colored with Copic markers then die cut with the coordinating dies. I created a simple background for the scene by ink blending on a panel of Bristol, which is sized at 4" x 6". It was mounted on a mat of Balmy Blue, then adhered to an A7 card base. All the critters and the sentiment were added with thin foam squares. For a scene card it was exceptionally easy to make.
As you see with my card, travel can take many forms, and we'd love to see what you come up with! Before you head off to your crafty space, I encourage you to visit the PP blog where my teammates have some wonderful and varied ideas for this theme. The challenge will remain open until Friday, April 11th at 3pm EDT.
Thanks for visiting and take care!

Stef, this is an adorable card! I love your story about Fred. I wished he lived closer so he could help me buy flowers and plant them with me. It's such a sweet quartet of "B" critters: Bird, Bee, Butterfly and Bear! Have a wonderful week!

Well, isn't this just too cute! I love that there's a backstory for him and his friends. I hope they got some goodies at the Farmer's market! Thanks for doing such a great job with my travel theme. :-)
