Sending you a Happy BEAR-thday!

Hi friends!

I am catching back up again from a VERY busy 2 weeks!  

My son has kept me hopping - and jumping, and limping, LOL!  

His Boy Scout troop has been very active with activies,

camping, hiking ~ including the 2nd leg of a 10 mile hike ... gasp!

AND, his drama troupe had their rehearsals, succesful Variety Show,

and districts of which all the kids did a fantastic job!

We just learned he scored Superiors ~ woohoo!

I was so lucky to buy some of the stamps and dies at MFT's

retirement sale and am inking them up and making cards!

Oh. the. joy!

When I saw the color challenge for this week,

I immediately (while driving) planned out the card in my mind.

It came together just as I hoped it would!

After all, bears can be yellow-ish and foxes can be pink-ish, right?!

tee hee!

First, I used my Tim Holtz Distress Oxide broken china ink ...

oxide over distress because I knew I'd add water droplets.

Then I added a piece of gingham dsp for the grass,

stamped out the trees and woodland friends onto #110 cardstock.

While I normally don't use such a heavyweight cardstock in the Cuttlebug,

I knew I needed one to stand up being popped up on 3d foam.

Colored these cuties with my prismacolor markers, and lastly,

added a heat embossed sentiment on black cardstock for contrast.

I love this card so much, I made 3 more with different critters

and some of the other sentiments ♥

The *quad* photo will be over on my Instagram later today!

Here is the color challenge for the week ~

I'll link my card up to MFT challenge 80.

 This is a busy week on my blog so I'll be back

with more paper goodness!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
