Good morning, friend! I’ve been seeing so many gorgeous cards with no-line watercoloring and wanted to try my hand at it again. I used one of the bears from MFT Stamps’ Beary Special Birthday. He usually rests against a birthday cake that he’s partially devoured. However, his expression reminded me of someone who needs cheering up (or who needs some coffee 🙂 ), so I that’s how I portrayed him.
To create my scene, I drew a tree onto some watercolor paper and painted it with Ground Espresso Distress Ink. I heat-set that before painting the sky with Tumbled Glass. The leaves are from Paper Smooches’ Gently Seasoned set and were stamped with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink. I stamped the bear onto watercolor paper with Weathered Wood and watercolored him with Hickory Smoke and Spun Sugar. After he was dry, I fussy-cut him and adhered him to my scene. The sentiment was created by combining stamps from Pink & Main’s True Love and SugarPea Designs’ Caffeine Addict. On the inside of the card, I stamped “Hoping You Perk Up Soon,” a sentiment from MFT Stamps’ Pure Innocence Steeped In Love. I thought it was the perfect complement to the image and sentiment on the front of my card.
I had so much fun creating this card, which is smaller than a traditional, A2 card (It’s 3 3/4″ x 5″). Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a beary special day. 😉
I’m entering this card into the following challenges: 2016 Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, Pink & Main’s Challenge 13: Autumn, Paper Smooches September Challenge: Anything Goes.
