Bearing Gifts

Such a cute little bear carrying all those gifts! As my luck would have it, if it were me, I would trip and all those gifts would be on the floor...

Playing along with the My Favorite Things Color Challenge 39. (I see my pink is a bit more coral, but you gotta play with what you have!) I stamped the bear from Bear Birthdays onto watercolored paper and then washed the background, to the outline of the bear with blue and then colored the bear and presents with Copics. Then I stamped the sentiment. I wrapped the bear panel with May Arts Pink Burlap String and then mounted the panel onto a red paper background with foam squares and that was mounted to an acetate panel embossed with a bit of dots.

So I am still struggling to find a good place to photograph my cards, I greatly admire the bright, sunny photos of some of the greatest gurus...it's a work in progress, and like I mentioned above, you gotta play with what you have!

I am on Instragram now too, will you come check it out? I'm hoping to post more "work in progress" and sneak peeks on there. My link is on the sidebar!
