****Make it Cute****
or Anything Goes
I started with an adorable Penny Black bear, holding a bouquet of flowers. I stamped the image in black ink and clear heat embossing before watercolouring and then fussy-cutting. I set it aside.
Onto the background ... I placed a honeycomb stencil over my card front, masking off the bottom. I sponged first with Mustard Seed Distress Ink, followed by Wild Honey ink, fading to light as I worked my way up from the bottom. I stamped the image again in black ink onto my sponged card front; then paper pieced in the image I fussy-cut on top. I added a simple sentiment to finish the card.

He's fussy-cut?! Oh my! Your skills are amazing, along with amazing coloring and stenciling -- this is really a sweet card, Loll
With all the shades of Fall, this little cutie blends in so sweetly giving him a peek-a-boo feel, Loll! Just darling!

Your coloring of that sweet teddy is perfect, as is your fussy cutting. I love the way you stenciled the background. This would fit our CAS with a stencil challenge at Seize the Birthday. Hope to see you in our gallery.
