Hi, friends! How has your January been? It’s been quite the rollercoaster here, with extremes of -37C one day and 6C three days later. Yikes! How about a cute critter card to brighten your day? This one features Bobbi the Bear with Beau & Beatrice Beaver. They go so well together, don’t they? If you know me at all, you’ll know that I can’t resist any opportunity to turn a bear into a panda and I did that hear with selective watercolouring!
I watercolored both Bobbi and Beatrice with mini distress inks, all listed below. Then I die cut the images with their coordinating dies and set them aside.
I used a large acrylic block and the smooshing technique to create the background with a mix of evergreen bough and peacock feathers. After drying the smooshed areas with my heat tool, I used the same colours to create splatters on the background, then sprayed the panel with shimmer spritz.
After cutting a 4.25″ x 4.25″ card base, I trimmed the watercolour panel and stamped the custom sentiment which combines two sentiments, sending big bear hugs from Bobbi the Bear and gnaw-some from Beau & Beatrice Beaver. I added a strip of diagonal black and white stripes before attaching the panel and the critters.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

A panda and a beaver, whoever could this card be for? 😀 It's such a fun card. Love the watercolouring and the smooshed background.
