You Take the Cake!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper is Fran Gumprecht aka Francie G.....congrats, Fran!!!  I chose this cute scenic card to case.  This is a birthday card for a co-worker, who asked for a bear-themed card.  I LOVE this bratty bear from the Stampin Up set, 'Under the Stars'....he tickles my funny bone!!!  Since I do not have alcohol blending markers, I colored him with sponge daubers using masking for the different sections.  (Before sponging him, a clear glaze pen was used on his teeth to act as a resist.)  The trees are from 'Wide Open Spaces', the little cake is from 'Simply Sweet', and the fun sentiment is from 'Sassy Sayings 2'.  The clouds were sponged over a punched scalloped circle.  Paper piercing and linen thread were added as finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
