It is time again for the zany challenge with my CCEE friends. Once a month we "honor" another SCS member--picking a funny or interesting sign-on name to play around with and then sending her (or him) the cards.
This week we selected Butterfly Ears. I heard it through the grapevine (Mothermark!)--she used this name because of her dog's ears in her avatar look like butterflies. So....one of the loco rule makers in our group (see itallic name above!) decided we had to make a card with two butterflies on it and four paws. (@#$!@)
But.....I figured out how to use these rules to my advantage (I used Kangaroo paws!) I thought this set drawn by my friend Melanie for Gina K Designs would be perfect for this challenge.
The main image is stamped and colored with prismacolor pencils and I used my new H2Os to highlight the colors.

I got goose bumps there for a minute because I thought I was gonna get to sound the buzzer! Didn't I say paw prints? Did you get me on a technicality? You are smarter than the average kangaroo Cammie girl! This is adorable and fun. Great job of coloring and wonderful colors! Good job!

Lovely work on the colouring, Cammie!! I wish I could figure how to use the gamsol and my twinkling H20's together to achieve such a wonderful effect!! Love those popped up butterlies.. I see Cindy mothermark had given your card a pass.. good thing!!

This is a really cute image, and you colored it nicely! I like the ''hinges'' at the top of the card that mimic the rounded bottom corners of the card.

While this card is really adorable, I'm not so sure kangaroos have paws per se; you may have stretched it a bit here, Camster! LOL! Awesome coloring of your image, and I like the soft contrast of the blue against the green. So cute!
