Crafts Galore Encore: Augie Bear

 

Hello

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 27th February.

This month's challenge is kindly sponsored by Andrea from SheepSki Designs and she gave the DT some digis to create projects. I chose this lovely peeping bear called Augie and I made a card:


Isn't he adorable! 
I printed him onto smooth white card and printed a second one to fussy cut as a mask. Masking Augie meant that I could stencil the background using two AALL & Create stencils and Distress Oxides. I decided to print a third bear to colour with Copic markers. Once coloured he was fussy cut and placed on top of the original bear - my reason for doing this was that it was easier to manipulate his lower paw clutching at the corner of the door. Also, having the bear printed underneath meant that his lovely, fuzzy fur outline is still visible. The door is wood-style design paper which I inked around the edges. I used a watercolour pencil to add some shadows around Augie and to delineate between the floor and the wall.


Many thanks to Andrea from SheepSki Designs for her generous prize for our random winner.


Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 


We'd love to see your creations.
Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!
xoxo
