Anything goes challenge

This weeks challenge on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog

is "Anything Goes"

I used

"Garden Bear" (#1402)

from Eureka! Stamps

We have the most wonderful neighbors,

and Di loves gardening.

She is very generous and fixes up a couple planters

for us to put on our front patio each summer.

I wanted to make a thank you card for her

and when I saw this image,

I knew I wanted to use it for her card.

This first card was done with a couple techniques.

I colored the image with water color crayons.

I made the sky and grass with Distress Inks.

I stamped the image on scrap and cut it out

to use as a mask as I inked the sky and grass areas. 

Masks were used for the clouds also.



The image on this card was colored with colored pencils

and blended with Gamsol.

I inked the sky, using masks for the clouds.

I tore a two different colors of core'dination card stock

and layered it for the grass.

I adhered the bear with foam tape.

I'm not sure which card I like better or which I'll be giving to Di.

Which do you like better?

 

I hope you've gotten some inspiration

and will participate in this weeks challenge!

Come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
