Keeping It Simple

Hello there! I'm sharing a clean and simple card with you today using the Polar Bear Pals from MFT.  This set came out a couple years ago and I bought it last winter after seeing so many cute cards with it! 

I just love choosing different colors for the scarf and using Copic markers to color the image. I began by sponging a background lightly with Broken China Distress Ink.

I added details to the scarf with a white signo gel pen, and shimmer to the bear's body with Wink of Stella. A black marker to dot the eyes helps them to stand out. I topped the bear's nose with a Nuvo drop in Ebony.

The hearts were die cut and colored with Copics and Clear Glossy Accents. The sentiment inside will say, "You Make my Heart Happy."

I'm entering this into the Superstar Challenge at My Favorite Things for the Clean and Simple category.

Have a great weekend! I am looking forward to the sunny days ahead. 

Be yourself.

Hello there!
I'm staying cool inside while the heat and humidity are making it miserable out this afternoon. Happy to get a little stamping in. My furever friend, our beagle Josie is snuggled up at my feet. 

Today's card will be heading off with my contributions to Cards for Hospitalized Kids. I loved these cute critters and colored them in with Copic markers, adding highlights with a white gel pen. Thinking this will make a child smile delights me today!

The background was sponged with Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress Inks.

Shakers are always fun to get! I added metallic hearts, sequins and a few seed beads inside. Also spattered a bit of ink droplets there. Have a great day!

Be yourself.
