The Paper Shelter Challenge #154 - Spring is Here!

Welcome to The Paper Shelter's "Spring is Here" challenge.

We are so looking forward to all of your 

submissions and seeing your creativity. 

My inspiration card that I am showing you 

today uses the cutest stamp called Teddy Picking Flowers. 

You can find it here!

Don't you just love this stamp? The little flowers just 

remind me so much of spring....

I tried to make them a little 3D by popping them up.
I added some texture to the bear by colouring it like I normally
would and then I did some crazy dotting with the blender pen, letting it dry and
doing more layers just over and over until I was happy with it.
I also added some Diamond Stickles to the flowers to add some shine!

Copic Markers

Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, RV10, RV11, O
Flowers: RV10, RV11, V25, V91, BG10, BG11, BG13
G21, G24, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17
Bee: Y11, Y13, 110, B0000

I hope you enjoyed this card. I really enjoyed making it!

you could win a $30.00 voucher {pictured below} to the store.

Guest Designer - PND - Dress Up Ellie

Greetings Everyone!

I was thrilled when Christine from The Paper Nest Dolls asked if 

I would like to be a guest designer for the month of April.

As you may be aware,
Christine gave me my first opportunity to 

be on a design team and I spent almost a year doing it.

She asked me if I would like to colour
a really special image for you.

Oddly enough, I did the original one many moons ago. She has 

been working on the new and improved versions of the stamps 

she originally drew. The card I am going to
be showing you today is using Dress Up Ellie.
You can find her here!

I chose an unusual colour combo, not something I have really
done before, but I had all these paper packs that
had this specific combo. So I thought why not?

What do you think? I actually like these 2 colours together.
She is so sweet, I loved this image back then and
I still think she is amazing!

Copic Markers

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair: E30, E31
Dress/Hat: BG10, BG11, BG13
Accessories: YR12, YR14, YR18

I hope you enjoyed this card I made.
Don't forget to stop by The Paper Nest Dolls.
She offers rubber stamps as well as some digital stamps.
Super cute!
