First off, I love these 5 layer buttons. What a cool addition to any card. I will be making lots of these!
This card is also for last weeks Teapot Tuesday since there won't be one tomorrow. I just had to do one, don't want to go into withdrawals! Cindy, please know that you are in our thoughts and will be missed! ... Read this for more information.
And lastly, this is also for Kelly's word challenge last week. Check that out here . The word was expend which one of the meanings was : to consume by use. My bear here has expended the Bar-B-Que chicken by using it as FOOD! lol......now on to the card......
Drew this chubby bear from the comics last week. Made him a plaid jacket so he'd be sylin'. Also drew the now empty pic-a-nic basket. Coloring was with prisma pencils and gamsol except for the jacket which was done with copics. Also versa marked and clear ep before cutting out.
On a white cs panel I stamped the lg.tree and clear ep. Masked and sponged the ground with old olive adding itty bitty bg. Stamped and clear ep the clouds. Then stamped the different colored leaves clear ep them all.
Masked the ground and sponged the sky. Stamped the pine trees and clear ep. Layered this with black cs. Popped up the chubby bear, basket and made button adding the thin jute.
Put this all on a kraft card that I stamped the mutnik square on the edges.
Well, hope you like my cartoon-y scene here...........TFL :0)

Glad you explained about the expended chicken. It meant I took a more careful look at your bear; at first I thought he was holding a key from something like a sardine or corned beef tin. Obviously I still knew he was on the food trail.

Just too amazing Cathy!! Oh the talent and fun just ooooozing from your pencils, pens, brushes, markers....and the stories flowing from that creative brain of yours. Love your drawings on top of this fun filled story scene. I also caught a quick glimpse of your winter tree and your IC kites and hills--gotta go have a peek...
