Stamping, Painting, & Coloring make me Giggle

Popcorn Bear is Fishing

This cute bear and duck are from one of  Crafter's Companion Popcorn Bear sets.  This image was water colored using water color pencils. I actually assembled the card before I left home, knowing the bear would be a shade of brown. :o)  When I stamped the image, I missed a couple spots. I used a fine line marker to complete the image.

Cute Companions

This card is made from a new set of Cute Companions stamp series. They are great for coloring. I'm starting with markers and will try water coloring next!

1. Stamped images on white card stock
2. Colored images with markers, alternating with light and dark colors in sections, blending before a color dried completely.
3. Cut flowers and flower pots out. Cut a rectangle around the bunny and wheel barrel.
4. Sponged blue ink around a cloud template for the sky and sponged green ink on the lower part of the card. Stamped some blades of grass around the bunny's feet and bottom of the wheel barrel. Used a corner punch to give a little interest to the corners.
5. Adhered decorative paper to the shorter side of the vertical base card. Added dots of purple with the markers to the decorative paper.
6. Adhered pots. Added flowers to just one on the end.
7. Adhered the main image on top of the decorative paper. Threaded a little floss through the button embellishments and adhered them.
