Birthday Cards


A couple of the DT members at Aud Sentiments weren't able to complete their cards for the challenge so I got to play with these two fun stamps from Stitchy Bear Stamps.
 I tried a new to me coloring technique for the bear.  After coloring with copics like normal, I used the old rag technique to add the look of texture to his fur.  I simply colored the tips of an old washcloth with my copics and then dabbed onto the bear.  I am really pleased with the way he turned out.  It was super simple to do.

For my second card, I thought this guy looked a little green around the gills. Just like he had partied too hard the night before for his birthday.  So I chose a funky green color.  I will probably put together a hangover kit to go along with this card
