Hello my crafty peeps!
Yesterday at Tea and Crafting we decided to use the Bear Hugs bundle from Stampin' Up!
we used sponging, and copics.

| Cindy - with her finished project |
The idea of sponging the background, I cased from
Frenchie 's video Beach Time... Thought this would work as a lake setting if i just switched up the colours. I liked the idea of using the white gel pen to mimic the waves or ripples on the water.
 |
| Cindy's version (copics used on bear) |
 |
| Marie's version (sponged bear) |
Directions:
- Old Olive 4¼ x 11 score at 5½
- Crushed Curry 5¼ x 4
- Very Vanilla or Whisper White 5 x 3¾ (2 pieces)
- Sponge with Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Old Olive on base about 1/3 of the way up.
- Sponge with Marina Mist, touch of Tempting Turquoise for the lake then switch to Soft Sky
- stamp in Old Olive the grass from the Wetlands set then sponge with Baked Brown Sugar at grass base.
- Using the white gel pen make small lines to look like ripples on the lake.
- Stamp your bear in Memento and then either sponge in Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar and Chocolate Chip or colour with Copics or Promarkers.
- Colour 3 fish with Copics or Promarkers and then top them off with clear Wink of Stella.
- With your poker poke holes in paws and thread some line thread through for your fishing line.
- Then choose a greeting.
- on the inside you can stamp a fish or something to spruce it up!
Hope you like them!
If I can give you just a little inspiration, where you can look at one of my cards and think I can do that, or I could tweak that and put my own spin on it, then I am achieving what I have set out to do!
P.S. Please share. with your friends and leave me a comment below. I read them ALL!
Hugs,
