My super sweet son has struggled with some school work this week...when I saw the challenge for today I instantly knew what I wanted to make ;-)
This cute little beaver is sure to succeed at the building task before him ;-)
I wanted to make an encouragement card for him :-)
Masking takes center stage on this card! I stamped & masked....A LOT! I was in a hurry so everything is just colored with two alcohol marker colors for each object, except the grass has three colors...no fancy shading...but I challenged myself and I really like the outcome ;-) Originally the sky was lightly shaded and the ground I chose to spot color under the trees and tools, bulldozers and logs...but I didn't like it and decided to darken the sky and completely fill in the grass. A touch of blue on his blueprint and all done ;-)
I double matted the scene panel and adhered to the orange card base
Thank you tons for your sweet words!

Oh, Nickie, what an amazing mom you are! I love this card and love all the wonderful masking! The coloring is fabulous, and your son will surely be encouraged by this card (and be encouraged). Beautifully done! Hugs!
