Bear Hugs Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT)

 

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Bear Hugs Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020. I didn't manage to share it here on my blog earlier, so I'm sharing it today. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for our last Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop (here).

For my card I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Pumpkin Patch' and 'Bear Hugs'. ♥

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped acorns and pumpkins on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the Kraft paper.

Then I made a card base. I cut two circles from a white cardstock paper and glued them together on the top.

I glued the panel on the circle card base.

Next up was an image. I stamped an adorable bear on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the bear and traced edges with a black marker.

I stamped another bear on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a grey marker and fussy cut him, leaving white thin border around the bear. Then I glued the watercolored bear over the grey one.

I die cut a speech bubble form a white cardstock paper and stamped a sentiment on it.

I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foam squares (2 different thickness) on the back of the bear and the speech bubble and glued them on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the bear using a white gel pen, embellished the card with two brown enamel dots and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Amazing fact about Bears:

"Bears care deeply about family members. They will risk their lives and even fight to the death in order to save a cub or sibling from danger."
