Fishing Bear Card

Good Morning!

Hope your day is off to a good start!  We are hanging out at my Grandma's house this week and loving every minute of it!  She lives in my hometown of North Bend, nestled in the mountains of Washington state.  It's so pretty here!

Today's card has a theme that is perfect for those of us born in the Pacific Northwest- can you guess??  It's a fishing bear!  Hee!  Here is my card:


So the theme is funny because just this week my grandma said she saw a bear outside her house- literally outside our window!  He wasn't fishing, he was getting into her trash... the fishing bear is a lot cuter, too!  I hope he doesn't come back while we are visiting!

This cute bear is from the Campfire Tails set by Newton's Nook Designs.  I've had so much fun using their stamps lately!  They were all I packed with me on vacation so be on the lookout for a few more cards using them!

I kept this card simple so that the bear would stand out.  I colored him using Copic markers.  I'm still not the best but I think each time I play, I get a little better!  I always start with the darkest shade in the color I'm using and blend it lighter with the lighter shades.  Then I go around the outside with my Cool Shadow marker to highlight it a little.  I added a little Glossy Accents to his nose to finish off the look:


The cardstock and ribbon is by Stampin' Up! and the plaid patterned paper is from the Lakeside line by Pebbles.  For a pop, I matted everything in black cardstock.  It really does pop against the aqua background!

Anyways, I better get off the computer and on with my day!  We have some fun things planned :)

Boo Card

Hello there!  I hope you are enjoying a beautiful fall day like I am- it really is beautiful in Virginia this time of year. 

Today I have a fun Halloween card to share with you today.  I used a fun set from Hero Arts:


Goodies:

Stamps: Girl with Balloon set and Houndstooth background stamp by Hero Arts
Ink: black Memento ink; Old Olive, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie More Mustard, Going Gray inks from Stampin' Up!; skin colored Copic marker
Paper: Confetti White, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry cardstock by Stampin' Up!; Enchantments from Monster Mash line by Imaginisce; Brights DSP pack by Stampin' Up!

I am not the world's best colorer when it comes to using markers... I know that, and it's OK.  I added some paper piecing to make it look a little better and I do like how she turned out, even if she doesn't have glistening hair.  :)

I don't do many Halloween cards but this year I wanted to send out some pictures of my girls in their costumes to their grandparents.  I'm glad I had a need to buy this cute stamp set!  Hee! 

Well, thanks for looking at my card today!  See you next time!
