Guess that means someone must be having a birthday!! I have a dear friend who always hand draws big bunches of balloons on her cards, so I knew what stamp I wanted to use for her birthday card this year plus I wanted to do some more colouring for the 30 day coloring challenge.
My first challenge was how do you actually colour a teddy bear with Copics, lots of people post really cute cards but they don't say what colours they used. So I looked at the E markers I had & worked out 3 brown combos I could do, then coloured up the wee teddy.
I thought the red-brown combo (E11, E13, E17) would probably work best on reindeer, the other 2 combos I liked & I thought the yellow brown was the most teddy bear-like. FYI in case you can't read my scribbles yellow-brown combo was E31, E55, E57 and gray-brown combos was E41, E42, E43 & E44.
I made my background by white embossing a wee star stamp. Then blended 2 distress inks to make the stars pop. I then spritzed with water, then sprayed with shimmer spray.
I stamped my Happy Birthday saying then die cut out the circle using the 2nd biggest stitched circle die.
I think the rest of the card is self-explanatory but leave me a comment if it isn't.
