Hello Friends! Today, Melissa is tickling your funny bone for April Fool's Day by offering Bear Butt as the freebie! Isn't he cute? He's only going to be free for a limited time, so go grab him now. And if you create something with him, post it on our Facebook Fan page. We love seeing your creations.
I have a card to share featuring this little guy, too. I printed him onto watercolor paper. I heat set it and then water colored him with Distress Markers. LOVE THOSE MARKERS! They are so much fun! I just scribbled on a little color and spread it around with a water brush. After it dried, I came back and added a few more strokes of color for shading. It's really that easy. I used sketch #162 from My Favorite Things for my card layout...just layering papers and creating banners. I adhered everything down, popped the focal up with dimensional adhesive and that's all there was to it!
I am entering this card into the Share Your Project contest at ScrapbookPal.com This time around we were to use products from Tim Holtz. I purchased the Distress Markers from ScrapbookPal.com. They were a Christmas present to myself! They sell them individually or in sets. I treated myself to the whole set, that way I would have any color I needed. Be sure to check out their contests...there is a $35 gift certificate up for grabs. I won last month...this month it could be YOU!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings~

Barb, your bear is colored so well. I love the honeycomb and wood DP - they are so befitting the bear image. (But I had to laugh at your comment about how easy it is to use distress markers. I wish I could take lessons from you because I have yet to use them well, let alone easily. I can't get a decent result. And I know it's user error as my husband tells me when I have a computer mess up.)
So cute, Barb. Great job on the coloring and the overall card look. That honeycomb paper is perfect! Hope you have a terrific weekend.
