My cheery news..... I am honored, and excited, to have been invited as the June 2012 Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown Challenge blog! Each week, a new color challenge is posted on the Color Throwdown blog. Stampers are encouraged to participate, and the designers who contribute weekly provide wonderful samples to inspire. I couldn't be more excited to join this group for the month of June!
This week's color challenge is a palette of soft pastel colors. Very feminine ... very spring ... very soft ... very cheery! Just what I needed!
I chose to use the "Buzzin' by Bear" image from High Hopes for my project. He's so FAT, I just want to pinch his cheeks! Both sets! *grin*
The image is stamped in Memento ink and colored with a combination of Copic and Touch Twin markers. I also used Prismacolor pencils to enhance some of the shadows. I added a layer of two-way glue and ultra fine glitter to the bear's wings and flower, for a little sparkle and shine.
Bzzzzz!!
Pop over to the Color Throwdown blog and participate in this week's color challenge. I'd be delighted, if you did!
LOVE him! And I think perhaps that the paper you used is from the pad I gave you. Don't you love that aqua flowered print? Your coloring is beautiful!
