Blue Bear

 

Hi and welcome to a new challenge at Fusion!  I played with both the sketch and the photo for my card this week.

I've had this bear coloured up for a couple of years, so I can't tell you what colours I used but I decided it was time he was featured on a card.  I used a stencil to mask my background and ink-blended blue inks in an ombre fashion to mimic the cake.  Before I removed the stencil, I flicked on Chipped Sapphire, white gouache and shimmer spray.  I had to colour up the balloons and die-cut them before adhering them to the bear's hand.

The sentiment was die-cut from white and navy blue cardstock and adhered to the card front.  The bear and balloons are popped up on foam tape.

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by the design team.
