Flowers for You

Hi everyone!  It’s Angie and I’m back with my second (and final) post as Markerpop’s April Guest Designer.  This week I colored up the Wild Rose Stuidos Flowers for You bears.  It’s such a precious little image 🙂  I colored it up using my Copic markers a few times and ended up making two cards that I’m sharing with you today.

After coloring the image with my Copics, I pulled out Crate Paper’s Farmhouse paper pad.  I pulled out some of my favorite pieces and went to work assembling the card.  I cut the papers down using some templates from Kiwi Lane Designs and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a sponge dauber.  I matted the image on one of the patterned pieces and used foam adhesive to adhere it.  I went back and colored the flower centers with a Buttermilk Spica pen

For the second card, I took the image after just the bears were colored and added some texture.  To add the texture, I took a scrap of an old wash cloth and poured some of the Copic Colorless Blender solution onto it.  Then I pressed the damp cloth gently onto the image to make him look a little furry.

The texture isn’t quite as noticable on the baby bear with its light fur, but here’s a side by side of the mama bear:
 I had a blast as April’s guest designer.  I hope you enjoyed my card shares.  Please stop by my blog to keep up with my future creations.
