       I love how this sweet ‘I love u” bear digi seems to just jump off the card when created in a mainly monochromatic color scheme two shouts of bright red!  The red heart that embellishes the inside sentiment is cut from a scrap of red plastic file folder. (If you follow my blog, you’ll know I often use these wonderful items. Sometimes called document file folders, they come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy cut with a sharp pair of scissors. And you can use templates or stencils to trace shapes onto them with a permanent fine line marker.)

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Little Scraps of Heaven Digi (I love u bear)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Newtons Nook 6x6 paper pad (Black & White Basics) 

·   Front Sentiment- “Happy Valentines Day” from a Conie Fong Digi Set available HERE

·   Inside Sentiment “Sending Bear Hugs” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Birthday Bears) Available only until June 30th

·   Scrap of plastic file folder,  and other misc. items and tools from my stash.

        The look of pure joy on this sweet little kitten's face makes me smile and also makes me think of my sweet mom. She was the most kind-hearted person you could ever meet, and our home was regularly blessed with stray fur babies that her six children brought home. My trusty white gel pen helped me add a fluffy/scruffy texture to the little cuties' fur.
