Teddy Bear painted ornament

Hi blogging friends

As my last post before Christmas Day, I thought I would share a Teddy Bear Christmas ornament that I painted a little while ago:

The teddy bear is a flat piece of craftwood and the original pattern is by Debbie Mitchell from one of her Cozy Cubby Collection tole/decorative painting books. I painted the teddy using JoSonja acrylic gouache and once cured, varnished using water-based varnish. I tied on a gold cord so I can hang it on my Christmas tree. Lastly, I added the green bell.

**********************

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and may all your dreams come true in 2014. For those of you who find Christmas difficult, my heart goes out to you.

Thank you for all your comments, emails, support and encouragement throughout this year. I will be back in a few days sharing a couple more Christmas cards which I am giving to my daughter and husband tomorrow (can't spoil the surprise as they read my blog!).

Welcome to my Blog

Hi - I'm Jocelyn from Victoria, Australia. Thanks for having a peek at my Blog. Hope you enjoy your stay and please don't be afraid to leave a comment - I LOVE reading them and then I can come and visit you too. All content on this blog is copyright to me. Now that I am retired, I hope to blog more often than I have in recent years.

None of my cards are for sale and I am unable take part in image swaps nor stamp images to share - nor do I do Commissions. My enjoyment is solely to make cards to give to friends and family: I just LOVE making cards :-)

I do hope that my cards give you inspiration to make your own but please don't take my original artwork and copy it exactly the same for publication in a magazine, contest submission, challenge blogs or for personal monetary gain eg: E-Bay, Etsy etc.

You are NOT permitted to use any of my cards as samples to help sell any of the products that I use on my cards or projects on any website eg: EBay, Etsy, Online Store etc. as this will infringe my Copyright as I am the intellectual owner of said artwork. Use of my cards without my permission will be reported to the website in question for Copyright Infringement so that they can take the appropriate action required by law. If you do not understand the implications of breaching Copyright Law, you would do well to verse yourself of this information to protect your reputation as a Seller/Store Owner/Website owner.

Feel free to CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) one of my cards for personal use ie: not for competitions, publication or where you would gain financially - but please make a couple of simple changes to make the card reflect your own input and personality eg: brads instead of buttons, different papers or border punch etc. and please include a link back here to my original card as a matter of kindness and courtesy. I have a watermark/web address on my cards to help you remember where it came from.

Feel free to share my cardmaking projects on Pinterest. If you hover over my photos with your mouse, a Pin It Button will appear and you can pin my project which will include the direct link.

All of my photographs are copyright to me and may not be copied, shared or reproduced in any form without consent. Please play fair and don't harvest any of my images. Thank you for your understanding.
