Mother's Day Jake

It's Mother's day soon, so I thought that I'd better get a card made for my MIL.  Her favourite colour is turquoise, so I picked out some of my lovely new glittery papers, and complemented with some cheery springtime yellow and orange accents.

I coloured this cute little bear, Jake, from Stampfairy, using my pencils and sansodor, but I'm still a novice with the pencils and struggle to colour something that I'm happy with.  Despite that, I don't think my colouring on this bear is too bad. Perhaps the browns are easier to blend than other colours!!

I'll never be as good with pencils as the extremely talented Larissa.  She's definitely my idol when it comes to pencils, and I'm definitely the student!!



Card Recipe:
  • Image -Thank You 4 from StampFairy
  • Sentiment - Typed
  • Papers - First Edition
  • Colouring - Pencils and Sansodor, white gel pen
  • Nesties - Lacey circles
  • From my stash -  Pearls, ribbon, glossy accents, brads

    8. Annette - your card is lovely! You did a beautiful job coloring that adorable bear. I love to color but find I do much with markers; pencils are very difficult for me because I can't make them blend well. You did that very well here and made the bear looks fuzzy, too! Well done!
