I made a 5" Big Bear card for the Delightful Inspirations weekly progressive challenge. The digi stamp came from Designed2Delight digital stamps. When I started out I had 2 printed off the same size and once I colored them with my Copic Markers and Copic Glitter Pens, this is the one that won. The picture doesn't do it justice. I was really happy with the texture of browns for the coloring of the bear, it just looks so real. Like that bear you had as a kid, that you slept with and dragged around by the ear.
I wanted to make a different card this week, so the bear is actually the card. I mounted it on card stock and cut out around him. When I went to take the picture he wouldn't stand, so he was temporarily mounted to some black paper to help bring out the colors. I just realized I have been referring to the bear as a "he" when in fact it could be a "she" because I put pink soled boots on "it". I guess I'll leave that question to be answered by who ever reads this.
I finally decided to make it a birthday card, but I think I'll do it again only with other colors for different holidays such as Christmas. The "Happy Birthday" raised sticker came from K&Company - Birthday Sticker Medley. I think we got it at JoAnn's. Gotta love that place!
Have a great week and stop in to see what is posted next week. Guess I need to see what other challenges I can put my cards on. I stopped by my daughter's blog Crafty Scrappy Momma and she has a laundry list of challenges she posts to.
