Beary Much

I love these little bears!  The bears are a digi stamp from Stamp Prints/Leaf Studio.  I made some cute tags for baby shower favors last week and had some bears left over.  I decided to make another pop up box card. 
The bears were colored in using tombow watercolor markers and a water brush.  I then created a mask for the bear with only the dress portion cut out.  I stamped with white acrylic paint and bubble wrap Elements stamp set.  Some of these cuties I added collars.  The paper is from the DCWV Collage Sheets paper stack.  I LOVE the mixed media feel to these papers.  Hearts were punched and flower was drawn on the left over paper.

So CUTE!

Click HERE to get directions on how to make the box cards.  Since I used a patterned piece of paper for the base, I didn't need to add the extra layer of paper on the outside.  I did, however, add them in the inside of the box since this paper was not double sided.

Digi Stamp:  Beary Cute

ICAD Week 4

Good morning peeps!

I finally spent some time in the Command Center and finished some of these index cards. I'm so glad to be starting Week #4!!

Prompt #22

Neon Sign

Well, I didn't fully follow the prompt on this one. I found the "forward" sticker while watering at work and knew I wanted to use it somehow.  So, I made a sign, just not a neon sign.  The background on this index card started with pink/black & white but slowing morphed into what you see below.

Prompt #23

Winter

It's pretty hard to come up with Winter ideas when it's 106 degrees outside, but this was quick index card to make.  I grabbed some watercolor markers in two different colors of blue and then spritzed water to blend them together.  I like how you can still see the pen marks on the card. Then I just splatted while acrylic paint and also spread some along the bottom.  The house is made from scrap paper.  The black lace and other black marks are from the Elements stamp sets from Lila Grey.

Prompt #24

Magenta

Ok...maybe not magenta, but pinks in the same family so it counts, right?  The background was a brush off piece of pink watercolors.  I added some black and dk. pink splatters.  This cute little bear is a digi stamp from http://www.theleafstudio.com/.  I won on the Decorate to Celebrate challenge site and (long story short) they offered me a spot on their Design Team. 

I watercolored the bear with some tombow markers & a water brush.  Then I used pink watercolor marker to color in the dress.  Once dried, I used white acrylic paint and one of the Elements (bubble wrap) stamps to add the details.  I also added the ruffled collar with a black BIC pen.  She's adorable!!

To finish the card, I added a doily, washi tape and a scrap pink cut out and circle.
