We have another challenge starting over at Less is More---a sketch challenge which is one of my favorites. Always fun to see what you can do with some design inspiration.
Here's the sketch...this is a great sketch and I will be making a few more cards with this image in mind. However, to start with, here's what I came up with...
I started my stamping my little bear...he is so cute...and coloring him with copic markers. As I was coloring my bear I wanted to practice adding a lot of contrast, so I made my light source from the right. I still need more practice, but like the contrast.
I then die cut my circle sentiment and my wavy lines and adhered them to the card base. It looked a little empty so I added a few dots that match the sentiment.
Here's a close up of my bear. I can still use a bit of practice on the shading but I guess is works for this card.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
