No-line Watercolored Fall Scene

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.
