Today Pam aka IRIS is the FS. What an awesome gallery she has. I chose this card to caseÂ…Â…detailsÂ….
I have been working on this little scene for a couple of weeks now. You see late one night, like after 9 oÂ’clock, I was watching AmericaÂ’s Funniest Videos. I know, how sad is that! Anyway, there was one of a bear sitting in these peoples hammock out back. Well that image just stuck in my head until I finally put pen to paper and this is what I came up with.
It works perfectly for the FS card I chose today. Pam has Riley in the hammock, and I haveÂ…. a bear. Plus hers is tropical and mine just plain old backyard stuff. Pretty much drew it all except the leaves are from Judith and the bushes and grass from CDS. All coloring except the clouds, sky and grass, were done with re-inkers, then versa marked and clear epÂ’d.
The clouds were painted with white acrylic paint, sky and grass sponged. Layered this with black cs cut out with scalloped scissors.
Added the white flower eyelets, some ribbon and a flower that I cut out of a magazine, layered with cs then put diamond glaze on.
Popped my scene up on a square card that I put Graphic 45 dp on and doodled the edges. Well, that pretty much does it. Pam enjoy your FS day! Hope ya’ll like what I saw on “late” night TV. hehe……TFL :0)

Cathy, I can picture in my mind a bear in someone's hammock. No wonder it stuck in your head. I'm sure they would havae been happpier with your card than they were with that bear!! Your striped hammock is wonderful..I love the flower at the bottom. Your cards are always such fun!!!

Cute image -- I like the striped hammock! And the ribbon through the two eyelets is really cute with the flower in the center. You are such a talented artist.

I can always count on you to put a smile on my face, I'm sure on many faces, this is super cute, love your little scene, I bet that video on AFV was a sight to be seen, If I woke up with a bear in my hammock I'm not sure what I would do, a video camera was a good choice I guess, or panic, whichever came first, fabulous drawing and coloring my dear, TFS

I love reading about how you come up with, design, and create your cards almost as much as I love looking at them! Love the scene - wouldn't that be something to see a bear in your hammock? I have had a cow in my backyard and I am pretty sure she would try to eat my hammock if I had one. Love your creation as usual!
