Jeanne is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some pretty primary colors to work with: Tahitian Tide, Lemon Lolly, and Polished Pink. The dessert option this week is to feature something in your card that starts with the letter, "B." I get four servings of dessert, one for the Bear, and 1 each for the three Balloons!
I'm starting to put dates on the kits I buy, and was appalled to find that this cute stamp set was from June 2022! Well, I made it before the set was 2 years old! Anyway, my little bear is floating by carried aloft by three helium balloons. I colored the bear and balloons with Copic markers, brushed the balloons with a glitter brush, and blended the background with Tahitian Tide ink. Die cut the panel and mounted it with foam tape on an embossed white panel and onto a Tahitian Tide base card. Added a few sequins, and it was done.
Looking forward to seeing what you create this week! Please join us!

Adorable card Barbara! The bear looks so happy floating by with his bunch of balloons. What a great way to incorporate dessert. And four helpings - very impressive!

What a cute little bear and your coloring looks great. Your ink blended background turned out really nice and I like the added texture with the embossing folder.

What an adorable card Barbara. Would be perfect to a baby to be card or child’s birthday. I’m loving the layout too.
