AAA Cards wants one image and something inspired by TV.
I recently watched a great TV series, His Dark Materials, based on one of my favourite young adult fantasy novels. In the book, there is a bear who helps Lyra, the main character. Here's a photo from the TV show:
I got out my old SU stamp of the bear with the children riding on his back:
I coloured the stamped image with coloured pencils, trimmed with a stitched rectangle die, popped up on fun foam, and added glitter to the snow line and the brims of the hats.
And then Addicted to CAS wants a "Silhouette".
I needed a sympathy card and I prefer them to be very simple so a silhouette is ideal.
I masked a rectangle on some coated cs and brayered with Frayed Burlap ink. I flicked some water on it with my fingers and got one very big wet droplet that lifted all the colour where it landed and a few other nicer splats.
Then I stamped a silhouette of wildflowers and grass with Staz-On ink. I trimmed the panel down, leaving a narrow white border, and popped it up on the card base with fun foam.
I hope everyone is staying well and happy.

I love this sweet polar bear image with the little kids having so much fun! Your sympathy card is perfection! LOVE the colour you brayerd for the background. The droplets really add some lovely visual texture and this is all fantastic for your silhouette flowers and grasses. xx

ReplyDeleteLove this bear with the children, Susan! It always brings a smile to my fact! The sympathy card is perfect with the water drops and silhouette flowers! Great choice of background color!
ReplyDeleteOnly you would have such a perfect stamp for that photo! How cute is that! And I just love your sympathy card from your neutral background to that wonderful silhouette. I even went hunting for that one. Your brayering turned out flawless too. I need to try that again since it's been a while.
