Grumpy Panda

This little brea is so grumpy it just makes me smile!  Is that mean? lol!!!

Another new Digi from Some Odd Girl today and I cannot tell you how much fun I had with this one. I'm totally having a blast creating slimline cards right now.  I know, I know, I know, it's totally a fad and it will go by the wayside again soon! But, I can have fun with it while it's popular can't I??? 

Anyways, this little boy/girl it's totally in a bad mood, and I gotta tell you, I was totally feeling the same way yesterday.  I think all of the quarantine and fear in the world today is making me moody.  

So, I printed this bear on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and colored it with the following Copic markers.

Skin: RV95, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20, E13 (for the freckles)

Hair: E18, E08, YR18, Y17, E31

Eyes: G99, G46, G000 C2, 0 (colorless blender)

Black: C10, C8, C6, C4, C2

White: W2, W1, W0, W00, 0 (colorless blender)

Black multilines pen, white jelly roll pen

I used a piece of Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and a stencil from Brutus Monroe along with Distress Oxide Inks for the background.  I spritzed it with some water to disturb the perfect lines left by the stencil.  I also used a sentiment from an old retired Whitt and Sass stamp set and some Stickles drops in "Star Dust." I also use foam adhesive squares to pop up the sentiment and the bear. 

Okie Dokie my friends, I'm ogg to get another cup of coffee.... I really need it today! Toodles!

The challenge today is..... BUTTONS!!!!! So sift through your stash, or go find an old shirt and pop them off... or even check he hem if your trousers for a spare... but find a button somewhere and get to Krafting!  Here's my Kreation for buttons challenge! 

I grabbed a pre-fab bookmark from the pile I have leftover from an old project Evan and I had done last summer.  Then I stamped this precious little bear (from the Buddy Bears set by Emilie Goulet) on it and went to town coloring with my Copic markers. Since this isn't the highest quality paper I had to color fast so that I could blend and be super careful not to oversaturate the paper.  Here's the colors that I used: 

Pillow: C3,1,0 and the colorless blender. 

Bear: E39,37,35,33,31

Nose: R20,22

Then I grabbed my trusty craft glue and my mason jar full of buttons, I found a length of white satin ribbon and I cut into pieces.  I attached the bookmark to a piece of Kraft paper, then I glued on the ribbons and trimmed them, then I glued on the buttons and let it all dry.  Now I have an adorable little bookmark to keep my spot while I'm away (making my coffee)!  Hooray!
