Stampin' In Alaska

Welcome to a new bi-weekly sketch challenge with Catch the Bug! This week we have a fun sketch for you with lots of possibilities. I can't wait to see what YOU create! My card features the adorable  Button Bear 7 The digital image was printed onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock and colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  Shading was added with a charcoal pencil and blending stub. I found the perfect coordinating papers in my stash with an older Basic Grey  paper pad called Hopscotch. A machine stitched border and pearls finish the card.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Still a lot of snow on the ground here, but we still managed a short hike today. I received some exciting news today as well, but I'm not sure that I can share with you yet!   More to come! I also managed a little crafty time to put together this sweet card for a couple of challenges. First, I have used this week's Freebie Friday image from Bugaboo called " Button Bear ". This sweet image was so much fun to color and  quickly went together.  The image was printed twice and the button was fussy cut.  Glossy accents were added and holes punched to allow for the baker's twine bow.  I pulled out some older Stampin' Up! papers that worked perfectly with the button theme. The card layout is from this week's Stella's Sketch challenge : Here's a close up of the sweet Button Bear image: My card qualifies for the following challenges: Stella Say...
