Hi everyone. I have a couple of cards to share with you today. The first one (above) is one of the new releases called Cuddlesome (30-814). I love this adorable bear peeking out from the tea cup. :) This image is watercoloured with Distress Inks, using primary colours for the tea cups. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. The only detail I added was some white dots to one of the cups. Clean and Simple one layer design.

Sending the above card over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes with Optional: Clean and Simple. This is definitely a clean and simple card!
For the second card, I've used a sweet bear image from Fragrant Friends (30-807).
He is watercoloured using distress inks and then cut out using the matching die, Fragrant Friend Cut Out (51-704). I used the Leaf Pattern die (51-432) to create a stencil from acetate. I then sponged through the stencil with a soft green to create a background. The bear is popped up on top to add dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Aaahhh...Two adorable beary cards so beautiful watercolored with your Distress Inks, Lolly. I Love your stack of watercolored tea cups in primary colors and how you added the sweet polka dots on one of the cupa. Such a cut bear peeking out of the top cup and holding a flower:-) Love your homemade stenciled leaves behind your watercolored and die cut bear and flowers too. Sweet sentiments for both cards too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteLove the bright primary colours and adorable image of the first card - all those tea cups are making me long to be able to have a cup of tea with you! And the second card is perfect for spring with its lovely pink blossoms!
ReplyDeleteLoll, these are just so dadgummed cute. You have the best PB stamps. I have only started in the past year collecting. I'm still finding old ones that I really like and wish I could find more on eBay! Too bad they aren't cling. [Bunny]

Gosh, so darn cute, Loll! Oh, the bear in the flowers is super pretty, and the leafy stenciling adds plenty of soft depth to it. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteAww... these are simply adorable! Both beautifully watercoloured. The colours are fun and bright on the first and so pretty for the second.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwww...these two cards are both absolutely ADORABLE Loll!! The little bear all nestled in the stack of colorful cups just couldn't be any cuter, and your 2nd card with the sweet bear tucked in amongst the flowers and leaves is just the sweetest! Beautiful coloring on both too!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeletePB has such beautiful stamps. I love the first card with bold bright colors for the cups. In the second card, the main decoration is a cute teddy bear and beautiful flowers, but the template background also does a great job
