I created this card for the inspiration challenge today. We were browsing the site "Ruche" and I chose this soft dotted mug with the biscuit lid: http://www.shopruche.com/with-you-fo...ug-p-5010.html Since I needed a baby card for my niece, this provided the perfect colors and patterns. FYI copics do NOT blend well on very vanilla paper and I almost had to trash this little bear when he was very nearly done!! I saved the area with my prisma pencils and then added white highlights to the cheeks also to tone down the uneveness. I got out my tracing wheel again to add the patterns on the pink paper a la Anna Wight!!

Your coloring on the bear is exquisite. Sorry you had some "last strokes" problems! : (...but no one would know! Thanks for the info about Copics and Pure Vanilla. Love your sweet card with the big polka dots to go with your darling image.
