Passion For Markers Challenge #650 - Something Beginning with 'B'

 Hi Crafters,

I hope you are keeping well and haven't melted in this hot weather we are having in the UK at the moment. I've been in my craft room trying to keep cool and have created this card for my challenge at Passion For Markers.

The theme this week is to create a project and incorporate SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH 'B'

I purchased some stamp sets from Ebay by Helz Cuppleditch quite a while ago and have been itching to colour them up. You might see a few of them in the coming weeks and months, her images are so cute and I love the style of them. This one is called 'Just For You' and is of a cute Panda Bear.

My 'B' things are BEAR, BLOOMS and BLUE
