.....Mr. Van as in Gogh......I loved the challenge yesterday so I did it again for the teapot party. We are going to the forest and if you happen to be a teddy bear you were to wear a disguise. To make it easy on you go here to read the complete story. BUT don't forget to come back and read mine. heehee............details.....
I love this bear from Judith Stamps, so I stamped him clear ep and VanGogh colored him using prismacolor markers. Cut him out and dressed him up. After all, he is in disguise. He is coming to the party to "paint" the goings on. Notice his paint brush?
Since he comes from way back in lumberjack country close to where Anne Ryan lives, he wears mighty big boots. I put a tie and hat on him to make him a little more presentable. Hope it worked.
Stamped the lovely as a tree tree on a left over panel of gessoed cs, clear ep then added color with re-inkers.
Put this on a white card that I sponged the edges with vintage photo. Before I popped up Mr. Van on the bg, I splattered some milk chocolate paint. Well, I smell food!.....See Ya!.....TFL :0)
Hi Sis!
P.S. Thanks Sabrina for hosting today and bringing such delicious food and drink!

How cute is he!! Under his boots and hat and tie he reminds me a bit of Paddington, for some reason...He looks as if he'd do a better job of painting than Paddington would though; a bit more of a handyman, this one. I spotted the brush, still trying to work out what's sticking out of his pocket. Pocket?? If it's a pocket, that's no bear in disguise, it's something else in disguise.
Lovely as a Tree is working hard to forest the place up this week .

You go girl!! He is just darling.. I love your creative mind, how you can always make one card fit more chalanges. I love the boots.
I wonder what he plans on painting..he looks like he has something in mind.

How cute! Love Mr. Van's disguise. Is he one of Anne's close friends; he looks a little too dressed up for her IYKWIM. Did the disguise work so that the tea partiers fed him?
