DT card for CRAFT

Hi there...its a new challenge day starting at CRAFT and this week our challenge is 

"use a mask" / "make a mask"

well i have used a mask...my little teddy stamp i have had for ages and only used once or twice but thought this would work, so i first stamped him then cut him out for my mask and just over stamped him 

Kept it simple really just added corner peel offs and ribbon and flower from stash.

Our sponsors this week are 

Stamp fairy ......Crimson Cloud .....Trimgym digital images  and  Crafts u print

so lots of prizes up for grabs, why not play along so easy to do.
