Cozy, Country Home

      Good morning and welcome to our latest challenge at FarmQuest.  

     Our theme for the next month is "Hibernating Animals."  I chose a bear and found this adorable clip art image which I printed in gray scale before coloring with my ProMarkers.  The sentiment was merged with the image before printing.

     I cut it with a die from QuicKutz, leaving a tiny white border, and then inking the edges with a marker.  I added chunky glitter to a piece of white CS and used that for the background.  I thought it gave the entire card a nice, 'wintery-nap' feel.

     Remember that this challenge runs until February 27 so you have lots of time to find that perfect image of a hibernating animal (squirrels? chipmunks? burrowing owls? polar bears?) and enter a card into our challenge.  Hope to see you playing along.

      This card has one of those images which I exchanged at a group or which was sent to me by someone and, unfortunately, I have nothing telling me the artist's name.  There's a notation on the back (not my handwriting) which says, "Mrs Beat Em" and I take that to be the name of the stamp.  Whether it is or not, it's a great title!

     I'm sending this card to one of my granddaughters-in-law for her Mother's Day card.  I think she'll get a giggle out of it.  

     I colored the image with my Sanjoki markers, and cut it with a scalloped Sizzix die.  The round frame was cut with a QuicKutz die and I cut it from some chunky glitter paper from a DCWV stack.  The dp is from Paper House and the sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  No embellishments because I wanted it flat for mailing, besides which the glitter paper was embellishment enough.  :-D
