Fur Luv & Treats!
Today I get to share a fun project I did for my CMC Challenge Group with you all! The new challenge is up HERE and the group is OPEN to everyone no matter what skill level you are at---you do not have to take a class to join our challenge group (you must join the site to join the group though--Ning's rule not mine, lol)! Its a fun group and we have challenges every 2 weeks focused on copic techniques and colors with great prizes! This challenge we have a fabulous sponsor the Stamp Fairy--they have super cute digi images that you do not want to miss out on! So you need to go visit them and fill your cart with these cute digi images! I just adore them and Gerda the owner is as sweet as can be too! I created a fun Valentines Day or Birthday project that includes a card and a pixie stix treat--fun for any age!
This little cutie is called "Lenny Love" and there are 5 in this series and they are all CUTE!! The CMC Challenge is to color "fur" so that's what I did! I wanted a soft black/gray bear and I colored him with copics (C7,C5,C3,C1,C00) keeping my stroke lines short and not blending to give him a textured look! All of my papers are from Paper Trey Ink--I love hot pink and black together--lots of hot drama, LOL!
I used some Zva pearl swirls and then PTI ribbon with a bow/pearl accent. The pretty mat behind the main image is from SB's "Lacey Circles"--one of my faves! I left the sentiment off so it could be used for many different occasions.
Come on repeat after me---AWWWWWWWWW, don't you wanna squish him? LOL! I put diamond glaze on his paws and nose and also the heart. Once the heart was dry I added stardust stickles to the top for sparkle. You could put a lil' bow in his hair and make him a "HER" too :) Copic colors used: C7,C5,C3,C1,C00 and RV14,RV10. **And Stamp Fairy has him dressed up like a bee too HERE--its next on my list--sooo cute!! **
To make the matching pixie stix treat I made the digi image much smaller and then printed him out. That is one of the best things about digi images--you can make them as big or small as you'd like and flip them around too! Very cool! I just used the same "Lacey Circles" dies to mat my image and colored him the same way. A pretty bow tops it off--the pixie stix are adhered to the back side of the circle with Scor-Tape. These are quick and easy to make so multiples of them would be easy-peasy :)
Hope you enjoyed this post and I have one more post tomorrow for you too! Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteOh what a gorgeous bear. I love those colors. It really make him stand out. The ribbon looks lovely with the pink button too. I love spotty paper. I also love the Digi stamps and have just got myself some. I was pleasantly surprised that I could print them off on my printer and then color with Distress ink re-fills.
My Mother would have loved this image.
