I joined an artist trading card swap with the
theme being umbrellas, and polar bears.
You had to make one with the standard size
3 1/2 x 2 1/2, and the other using
a 2 1/2 circle.
The umbrella I used watercolor paper.
I first misted with a little water. Next I added a few
drops of dye based re-inkers. Lastly I blew the ink
around using a straw. The umbrella man is a Tim Holtz
stamp that came in the package called "Muse"
The greeting I used was also in the set.
and here is the polar bear circle.
I used the same technique to create the blues for the sky.
The bears were stamped on shimmery white cardstock then cut.
Did some shading with a blender pen, and inks.
I wanted the bears to be looking up at a star so
I punched out two stars and glued a piece of wire
between them. Then the wire was sandwiched in between
two circles. I also added some white mica flakes around
the bottom of the bears for the snow.
Hope my swap partner enjoys them.
I'm still sick. It started on Monday with a scratchy throat. Now
it is a full blown cold. JOY!!!!!!
