Eureka- Winter Bear

For todays card, I decided to 

use the stamp Winter Bear. 

He's a cute little guy!

Actually, all of

 Eureka's stamps 

are cute!


I used a simple design for this card.
 I wanted to really spotlight the image.

I used one of my favorite techniques -

 coloring on colored paper.

I like to use Bazzil paper as it 

has some texture to it and that

 really helps to pop the colors out.

The word stamp is from QKR Stampede,

 a sister company to Eureka

Thanks for visiting today! 

I hope you got some inspiration

 while you were here!

See you soon!

I stamped this cute image onto 

colored Bazzil paper then added

color with colored pencil.

I love using this technique -

 the colors just post when added

to a darker paper!

Thanks for visiting today!

Small Harvest Basket

Hello Friends! 

Today I am showing a card I made

 with Eureka's stamp "Small Harvest Basket".

This makes a lovely fall card!

I cut a circle then stamped the image in black ink.

I then used Antique Linen Distress ink to antique the paper.

I then watercolored with Distress inks. 

I finished the image by using a fine line black pen to enhance the lines.

The brads are some off brand brad I had in my collection.

Thanks for stopping today!
