First entry for the Divas Coffee Break Design Team Sketch Challenge! I went for the very happy transformation of the grumpy bear in the stamp set Under the Stars. He just seems like such a cute bear, but then he has a frown on his forehead -- so I eliminated the frown with a very jaunty santa hat, borrowed from Crab & Co. The presents also came from Crab & Co., I used masking to stack them and then a white gel pen to dot 'em. If you look closely you can see that I crimped my Ski Slope Designer Series Paper, just a little more texture. The BigShot got to join in the fun, creating the Joy cutout. A little creative punching let me add the bottom right element, without going straight for my drawer of brads!
So, now it's your turn! Can you interpret the sketch into a card or scrapbook page? Would you

Good Luck, Dee Tollaksen
Wow, you really put a lot of thought and work into this. It is so cute- and funny how you made Mr. Grumpy into Mr. Happy! How clever to use the stamps from Crab & Co. too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love they way you dressed up this bear to make him look happy. I never would have thought of using that stamp set to make a holiday card. Great card!
