Sending Smiles

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog! Yay!

You don't need to use a Di's Digi image or even a digital stamp to enter the challenge though, as long as you follow the theme. You can find more about the rules and requirements on the challenge blog.

The challenge that started today is....

"2 of a Kind"

(use 2 embellies, 2 papers, etc.)

Here is a look at the project that I created: 

How cute is that little Springtime Bear*?

I printed out my image onto some white Hammermill cardstock and colored it in using my Copic markers. Once I had it colored in, I stamped my sentiment underneath and then used a scallop rectanlge die to cut it out. I layered 2 pieces of patterned paper to create 2 stripes onto my Kraft cardbase and added some dooling around the perimeter. I added 2 bows, one to the bear and one to the die cut rectangle before popping my card up with foam tape. So sweet!

Copic Colors Used:

--Bear: E31, E33, E35, E40, E41, E42, R20, R00--

--Duck: YR02, YR00, Y00, Y11, Y13, R20, R00--

--Watering Can: W1, W3, W5--

--Yellow Flowers: Y11, Y13, Y18, YR24--

--White Flowers: C00, C1, R81--

--Leaves: YG01, YG03--

I would also like to play along with the following challenges:

--Critter Crazy Challenge: #83 Anything Goes w/ Featured Critter--
