Love you Beary Much!

What is up with me and the punch art lately??!  Seems I always want to do punch art around Valentines because you can make such cute little critters with hearts.  These cute bears are not made with hearts but they are on a heart shaped card and are holding a heart.  Aren't they cute.  I had fun coming up with the idea and I even have a mini tutorial at the end of the post.

All of the bear pieces are Crumb Cake CS and they are shaded around the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  The pink in the ears and on the cheeks is done with chalk.  (forgot I have that been so long since I used it.)
Want to know how to make these cuties???
 

Have fun creating!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 138!

I love having a holiday on Monday, don't you.  It is always great to have three days off seems to create a much more relaxed weekend.  I hope that you enjoy your extra day and that you find time to play along with my sketch challenge!  If not today, sometime during the week.  I am combining my sketch challenge with the Latenightstamper's challenge for the week --as usual.  This week we are using our punches on our projects.  Can't get much easier than that, it seems that almost every card I make uses at least one punch.  I chose to work with the adorable Owl Punch.    First I will share the sketch....

And of course my card...

Stamps: Cheep Talk, Vintage Labels,  Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Early Expresso, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, In Color DP Pack
Ink: Basic Black
Other: circle punches, owl punch, scallop circle punch, little leaves sizzlet, googly eyes, brads, marker

These really are cute little guys, I have another idea for these for tomorrow--I hope, lol.  If you play along be sure come on back and add you link below.  I am excited to see what you do with this sketch.
