I love these one layer cards, and they are in an Amuse kind of style. These are from the Jumping for Joy set over at GinaK Designs. For the green grass, I masked the bear, and brayered on the bottom. For the blue one, I sponged the bottom. I wanted it to appear more "see-through" like water would be. I used the C1 copic marker (the ONLY one I own) to draw aroud the bear, since it makes him looks whiter. Have a great day, and happy stamping!!
simple and sweet! like the little pink mouth!

This is such a cute image! Thanks for the tips: outlining with the marker for a white image, making grass and water.
I do have on question. What type of sponge do you use to sponge on color?

I love your cards. I agree with Bev's comments. The little bear is just too cute. As usual, I learned something from you - the C1 Copic marker does make a difference and adds that extra bit to the bear. I have a different bear set and this will help my guys too I bet for extra dimension. Thanks for the tip - I assume I can buy just one from someplace not that I wouldn't love to have more but have been doing great with your tutorial on coloring. Thanks for all the inspiration!
