Good Morning
and
Happy Friday!
I have a special little post this morning. A couple weeks ago, Bonnie and I got to meet another mutual crafty friend, Michele Ferguson (I Card Everyone) when she and her hubby drove down from Michigan to Cary!
Bonnie was a doll to let me crash their crafty day and spend a couple hours having lunch, visiting and crafting with them. Michele generously shared some of her new stamps/dies with us (so did Bonnie). So, today, we are sharing our cards made with one of Michele's purchases, Merry Days, by Penny Black.
Michele, Bonnie & I
I have to admit I'm a little nervous sharing alongside them as they both are so creative and talented. At any rate, here is mine...
I was out of town for several days earlier this week, so I kept mine pretty CAS as I had to wait until I got home to color my image. I used Copic colors to match my background stripes. I rooted around in my stash of foiled Christmas sentiments to find the perfect one to add a little pizzazz to that adorable bear couple. I also shimmered up the star and the fur on the bears' hats for some holiday bling. The lovely frame was either Bonnie's or Michele's and I loved it so much I came home and ordered it!

(Everything but my sentiment is NBUS and also new).
I'm thrilled you visited my blog. Have a creative day!
Come back soon! 💖

That frame is Michele's but I ordered it too as well as the other one she brought. Your bears are adorable and you coloring is amazing! I love how you picked up the colors of the stripes that give this such a playful feel! Hope to see you again soon.
Love the colors you used on this sweet image, Nance - perfect with the stripes behind! How fun to craft with friends!!
I ordered that frame too but long before I saw any of you use it. It looks fantastic with the striped background and your adorable bears, Nance. So glad you had a fun crafty day with Bonnie and Michele.
Awwwwwwww...this totally makes me smile Nance!! You've colored up this duo so beautifully and I love the striped background and the matching colors on the scarves and hats! Sweet, sweet card!! :0)
Nance, you've colored this darling duo in such a special way - they deserved that shimmery fur on their caps! and GRAY bears?? Why didn't I THINK OF THAT?? I love it!

You've used the sweetest colors for this adorable card! What a darling pair of bears they are. That Michele is a sweetheart, isn't she... Tom too!
All three of you were so creative and so different in your coloring of this sweet image, Nance! Wonderful shading on your bears and their scarves and hats - and the striped background in the colors is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Markers! Julia xx
I've never thought of coloring bears gray--it's a nice change and framed so nicely, too!
How absolutely adorable and fun this is! Your bears are colored to perfection and looking festive as they head off to send cheer with the colorful background and a bit of sparkle. What a treat to see this happy card!
