I have had such fun with cards for The Challenge this month. This is Week 4, Challenge #79, and the inspiration is for a masculine design (see photo below). I have way too many stamp sets that haven't had any use so this was a perfect opportunity to get out two of the ones I recently ordered.
I'm still focused on fall and felt a masculine card with a popular fall sport would work with my new bear. Of course, I didn't have any football stamps so I made my own, maybe not perfect but worked for my card. I fussy cut the bear but wanted to use the cuts for the arms so I laid the fussy cut version inside the die and ran it through that way.
I did add some glossiness on the football and colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, something I haven't done before. No sequins on this one, just little wood-cut leaves!
Thanks so much for dropping by. I always love when you come to visit,
Sharron

Fabulous card....love that sweet little bear!
This is adorable. Love how that bear is holding a football, and also those wooden leaves embellishments.
How cute is your football toting bear, Sharron! He's adorable ... and coloured so brilliantly ... seems he's all texture-y ... perfect with that fabulous layered background! Hugs, Anita :)
Wonderful masculine card with the woodgrain and plaid, Sharron, and I love the bear holding the ball!
