Hi everyone, a card today for Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge and a theme of at the Zoo, so I've used my football loving bear image available here and coloured with markers. I've cut the bear out with a nestabilities ova abd also cut some with scalloped ovals from coredinations card which has been embossed and sanded and kraft card which is also used for the card blank. The background paper and strip between the image and scalloped ovals is Pink Petticoat pretty doodles mini set which I printed out in chocolate and white and sponged with vintage photo distress ink. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp which I went over with a clear glitter gel pen. I added the ribbon and doodled in white gel pen around the scallops of the oval and the edge of the card.
Materials:
Digital Image: 'Loving football bear' Sketching Stamper Digi-stamps.
Sentiment stamp: Studio G
Colouring: Promarkers in vanilla, apricot, terracotta, cocoa, black, warm grey 2 and 3, raw sienna. Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo
Card/paper: A4 Kraft card from The Craft Barn, Pink Petticoat paper dowload 'Pretty Doodles' in chocolate
Embellishment: white gel pen, chocolate ribbon, heart gems, sandpaper, clear sparkle gel pen, Paisley embossing folder
I hope you've all had a safe day in all the snow. There's been more snow here on the South Coast than I've seen for years. No children went to school and not many Daddies either by the looks of all the huge snowmen outside LOL! It was a lovely atmosphere with everyone outside enjoying themselves. I think we must have had about six inches of snow during the night and it continued until mid afternoon, I took a quick pic of the table in the garden which shows the depth of it, I couldn't get over it really.

I just love the colors you used in this card - just beautiful hues!
Havent blog hopped for a while, so have just seen your latest cards. Love them all and your new digi images are fabulous.
We had loads of snow here to, Oli had to go to school this morning as his school was the only one open in our area. He was not a happy bunny, they didnt even let them leave early either. Nevermind though as he has got tomorrow off.

Your card is breathtaking Chris and such wonderful colours, I just adore the sweet bear which you have coloured so beautiful, Gorgeous details as always, Big Hugs, Nikki x
wow - great bear, love the colours and the ribbon!
Wonderful card. All the texture and pattern give it such a warm/furry bear feeling! I had to laugh, though, when he I saw the soccer pattern, not what we call football! :) So glad to hear that you are enjoying the snow. Your upbeat attitude was refreshing after all the doom and gloom I read in the news. Thanks for sharing.
Ooh! I love the brown on this card, it reminds me of chocolate! Hee hee! Really pretty and I love the ribbon!
Love, Georgia xxx
Yummy, that is good enough to eat. Lovely card. Love the snowy garden table :) Kim

It started snowing tonight overhere, but not as much as at your place. :)
Beautiful coloring on the little bear!
A beautiful card and a beautiful digi image. Love the dot effect around the image too.
Your Pretty window card is gorgeous but I can't seem to open the comment box. I love the decopaged flowers and once again the dot effect makes it stand out.
