I dabbed (looks like spattered), embossed, and sewed some stitches on a card.
I call that a fun day! ;)
Spatter Technique Challenge in the Moxie Fab World calls for some splatter.
I did a bit of dabbing with Copics on the sentiment and circle panels.
I wanted it to convey the spirit of joyful girls bubbling with laughter. ;)
My sketch is inspired by

By the way, it's been animal kingdom here lately at my house.
I faced my worst fear since we moved here...seeing one of these bad boys nearby.
YUP, that's a bear people.
I PRAYED I wouldn't see one in our yard for 3 1/2 years.
I didn't, until Tues.
Maybe the Lord felt it was time.
He WAS BEAUTIFUL
and scary.
It was very surreal.
I screamed "BEAR! BEAR!" in a squeaky voice.
My hands shook all day.
I'm not cut out for too much country, mind you.
Here's some other fun adventures for my girls....

They LOVE exploring this way.
As for me...

What a fun card, love the way you did the ribbon! Thanks for playing along with us at The Sweet Stop!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the spatter - it gives it such a happy feeling...a perfect summer day. I would not; however, like your bear. We get a lot of deer, foxes and, unfortunately skunks...but thank goodness...22 years in our home and no bears!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card :) :)! Are you in Colorado? We've been seeing a lot of bears coming down to find food here. They sure don't look like Yogi, do they?! LOL
ReplyDeleteMarlena, this is so beautiful and I love how you added work with your copics to created that look! The colors are so summery and pretty! Growing up in Alaska, we had bears go through our yard (on the edge of forest) and I know what you mean - exciting but scary!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card. I grew up in a town where the people in the mountains often see bears (my aunt still gets them in her yard a lot), but I have never seen one.....I imagine I would have the same reaction you did :). The tadpoles are so cute and so fun to watch. Enjoy the beauty of God's creation :)!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so awesome...love the design...wow wee a bear...that would be scary...how crazy for it to be so close...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card Marlena. The silhouette image looks great. Also love the stithing and the ribbon treatment! Wow! That bear does look scary! We live near the woods, but I have't seen any wild animals other than deers. :o)
ReplyDeleteI REALLY love this sweet card and oh my...a bear?!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesweet card!! love the image! Thanks so much for joining us at the ColourQ!!
ReplyDeleteMarlena your card is so sweet, the colours are so soft. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this---I am going to have to check out those silhouettes from S&S!! I love silhouettes. I am glad the silhouette of the bear was him leaving your property! Eeek! That's a bit scary. I hope he doesn't get into your pool! Thanks for playing with the CQC this week!
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING card!!! :) Love your bear pics, we have those 'round here, too..... I feel about like you do. They are beautiful, but I don't want one to get me! The stitching on this is so pretty, I hope you had a fabulous Mother's day!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour "faux" spattering is wonderful! I never thought to try that with Copics! I would totally freak out if a bear came into my yard--in Hawaii! LOL!
