2x2x2 Challenge

I hope you had a wonderful three day weekend!  Time is marching on isn't it?  Here we are roaring into September, and soon it will be October....and then....the "holidays."   It just seems that we settle into a season and then ....wham...the season changes and we need to adapt yet again to a change in weather, holidays and whatnot.  Ok, enough of my musing, how about some crafting stuff?

This week the team was challenged to do a 2x2x2:  Two embellishments, two papers and two products from the store.  I interpreted the challenge to mean "at least" two of these things, and here is what I came up with:

And a close up of the image:

The stamp is from the new Elisabeth Bell Animapeeps (an absolutely darling collection of animal stamps), and I also added some Diamond Glaze to the eyes, used Viva Decor for the dots on the umbrella and the embellishment on the corners of the card.  The two products I used are the Spellbinders and Viva Decor. And I used the Basic Grey "Green at Heart" paper for the card as well.

The image is colored with colored pencils!  I am really getting back into coloring with my colored pencils, easy, fun and versatile, and they work so well with Copics!  While the image for this card is not combined with Copics, I have been playing around with combining both mediums and love the result, but more about that later ; )

Hope you have a great day and don't forget to visit Susana's store for some new and exciting products.
