Simon Says ... We're all going dotty


Sorry for the blogger overload this evening - this is definately my last as the new Sherlock Holmes is on the telly and last week's was brilliant
Had another go at distressing on my main image and I think it looks marginally better than usual, but still more practice required me thinks!
Added some flower soft for the bubbles and coloured the buttons, gems and flowers with copics to match my colour theme.

This card incorporates some of my favourite challenges:

Simon Says - We're all going dotty

High Hopes challenges are back after their summer break and challenge #83 is to use your favourite embellishment (mine is ribbon, closely followed by gems)

Sketch from Papertake Weekly #45

Rosie-D's challenge #76 - All creatures great and small

Easy Craft Projects #18 - chocolate brown

Stamptacular Sunday #70 - Out of this world - create a card or project that includes something that would wouldn’t really see here on Earth! (....well when was the last time you saw a bear having a bubble bath!)

Supplies
Stamp: High Hopes
Papers:
Accessories: white flower soft; copic markers; antique linen distress ink; glossy accents and glitter on bubbles

Can't say I've ever seen a bear having a bubble bath... although, if I don't pay attention, my kids would probably try! LOL! Great card!

A bear taking a bath with a rubber duck, how out of this world is that. Love how you added the flower soft to the bubbles to make them look foamy. Thanks for sharing with us at SSC.
