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! 

What would you doooo oooo oooo for a Klondike Bar?

Tell me you read that title in the famous sing song voice of their catchy jingle?  If not, go back and read the title again.... I'll wait here......

Ok, we good now?

Well, this image was the feature image (from Scrappers Delights) for the Sweet Sentiment 1000 member party last week, and I think it's just so fun!!!! I love this little "trash panda"and the expression on his face.  I actually made this card for the brand new sketch challenge that is being released today in the Sweet Sentiment Facebook Group! 

And here's the inside:

Yeah..... I know what you did!  But I get it, Klondike bars are delicious!!! hahahaha My favorite is the Mint one..... oh man, so much yum!  Anyways.... the image is from Scrappers delights and you can grab it in digital form in their store by clicking here. I colored her up with my copic markers which I will list below.
