Holley is having a bookmarker challenge on her blog using this image. I thought this would be a great opportunity to try something new to me. I used a Dove Blender Pen with Tim Holtz Distress Inks to color the bear. I squished some ink down on my craft sheet to work with. Then, I thought, why waste the leftovers, so I sprayed them with water and dunked the bookmarker into it. After it dried, I added a real bandaid for the bear to sit on, some white Neon Amplify and some shading with a Pitt pen. Finally, I added an epoxy sticker from Colorbok that said smile. Sometimes we have to smile when we least feel like it.
Oh my this is just awesome!! WOO HOO, thanks so much for joining in this contest. This is just super special to me. HUGS!!
ReplyDeleteSo very glad you like it, Holley. I am just so happy about your six years :)
DeleteI need to add, I just LOVE how you put her sitting on a band aid! so clever!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Kind of cracked myself up on that one, Holley :)
DeleteYour clever ideas are amazing! That band aid that the bear is sitting on is adorable and had me chuckling! I love the background that you created by using your leftover paint! I always forget these great techniques!
ReplyDeleteI think, that as an art journaler as well, I have learned to add "junk" to things LOL! Thanks, Janet!
DeleteThis is great Jean, love him sitting on a band-aid and the way you painted him too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mel, and thanks for stopping by :)
