It's All New

Crafter's Companion Party Paws: Bamboo's Treats
Welcome to 2014 and the home of my new blog.  I had unfortunately forgotten the username and profile for my previous blog due to lack of using it, and have therefore created this new blog.  I had also taken a bit of time off from creating new cards, hence the lack of use, but now that I am back at it I figured why not start something new for the new year!  I plan on entering my cards into as many challenges as I can find, so please have a look at the links I include with each post for the challenges each card is entered.  If you find other cards by other bloggers please have a look at their blogs too.

 My first post is of the cute and adorabale Bamboo from Crafter's Companion.  He is such a cute cuddly little bear that can be either a panda, a brown or black bear, or even a cute teddy bear (if you used some imagination and added maybe some stitching to him).  I think he makes a lovable panda bear myself!  This card was created for a friend of mine that had a little girl not too long ago and was going back to work while still working her Epicure business.  I figured she needed a gentle reminder to make sure she treated herself too.

 Here is the list of Spectrum Noir markers (my coloring tool of choice right now) used for this image:

 Bamboo: IG1, IG7, IG8, IG9, PP1. PP2
Glass: LY1, GB3, GB4
Bubbles: HB1
Bottle: EB6, LY1, LY2, CG2, CG4, TN4, TN5
Snail: GB3, GB4
Tub: PL1, PL2, PL4, PL5, LV3, GB3, GB4

 I had used Tsukineko's Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink to stamp the image and accented Bamboo's nose with a dab of Ranger's Glossy Accents for depth.

 CHALLENGES ENTERED:

 Spectrum Noir January 2014 Challenge - Animals/Critters

Loves Rubberstamps Challenge (LRSBC85) - Anything Goes
