Just a quick stamp in Versafine Smoky Gray ink, and a bit of messy water-coloring with Catherine Pooler inks. You wouldn't believe where those berries came from - to prove it I've shared a photo of the sets I used to create my Blackberry Bear's berry patch. I always look for unusual ways to use my stamps, when possible.
Now, who wants blackberry pie? jam? to join him?

Oh my goodness, he is a blackberry-lovin' bear for sure! I just picked my daily dozen from my little patch this morning...yum!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteLOL, he sure looks like he's enjoying those "berries"! This is such fun, Michele! A great way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteNom, nom, nom! What a fabearlous card! I love how fun and carefree it feels. Love how you share your creativity. Fabulous. Just don't mess with the bear and his berries! They did a story on the news here about a guy who heard a noise in his kitchen one night to discover a bear got in! And the bear swiped at him. The guy was lucky. But the images of what that swipe did to him (shudders). Stay outside and enjoy your berries, Mr. Bear. :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDon't ever retire that sweet bear! I love to see where he might pop up....and no place better than a berry patch! Love his sticky face! Adorable card!
