September's sponsor for the Outlawz Friday's Coloring Challenges is Vera Lane Studios!
You should definitely enter this challenge and should also visit my Outlawz Coloring Challenge Teamies' blogs for inspiration! Carla, Dawn, and Penny are seriously talented!
Here's my card, featuring Bear'n Gifts, a new addition to SCACD's line of digital stamps!
Bear'n Gifts was resized in PhotoElements and printed out onto Neenah cardstock using my laser printer. He was colored with Copic markers. A fine mist of rubbing alcohol was sprayed onto a clean Swiffers Sweeper dusting sheet, which was then pressed onto the image. The alcohol removed the marker in a random manner and gave the bear's fur a fuzzy look. I enhanced this look further by coloring tiny rings with three different colors of marker. Bear'n Gifts was then fussy-cut, edged with a black marker, and set aside to wait for his new home to be created. BTW, Bear'n Gifts comes with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment, but I didn't feel like using it.
I followed this sketch from Creative Craft Cottage Challenges, though I made the oval into a circle so that Bear'n Gifts would fit!
The patterned papers are from the Origins 6x6 pad by Basic Grey. The circle die-cuts are Nestabilities Circles by Spellbinders. The other die-cuts (the Fishtails and Scallop) are by Die-namics. Since I didn't want Bear'n Gifts to be floating in space, Washi tape was added to the patterned paper prior to die-cutting the circle. All edges were sponged with Distress ink or Copic marker as I can't abide white edges.
Thanks for visiting today!
