Grandpa Bear!

Hi Everyone,

Back on my feet again, thank goodness!  We have a new challenge for you in Through the Craftroom Door and the theme is distressing.  So whether you want to sand it, tear it, ink it or have the papers that are already distressed, it's all up to you but we want to see it!  Guylou is our sponsor for this challenge and you can find her awesome talent here.  Here is may card to help get the creative juices flowing!

This is her Grandpa Bear, isn't he soo cute!!  This was the first time that I have ever made my own colour by layering copics to make the burgundy coat.  The picture is quite dark but in person the card is a lot lighter in colour.  Now distressing is not something I normally do but I did my best for this challenge.  I sanded all my papers first, then inked them to give them dimension. Next I embossed the clock background and used a brayer to roll ink on the raised area so you could see it better.  Lastly I tore it to give age to the paper.  That's about the best I can do when it comes to distressing without stressing me out! lol  Grandpa Bear is coloured with copics and I added stickles to bow tie and liquid glass to his hat, nose, eyes and the pads of his feet to make them shiny. I can't wait to see what you have for me!!

Thanks for stopping by!
