Bentley Bear's Poinsettia...

Hi All!  And a Very Happy Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday to you! 8-) ( Say that five times fast..lol. ) Hope you all had a Wonderful week. Mine was spent mostly trying to get over this doozy of a cold that I managed to come down with while our power & heat was out. Made it a bit of challenge to get my craft on this week, lol All I could seem to manage was to make it to bed, then to the couch, then to the kitchen for some Homemade Turkey Soup and then back to bed..lol But, I'm starting to feel much better. Yay! 8-) So without further delay.... Here is the Sweet Stop Sketch #138  for this week:

And here's my take on Miss Korin's Fabulous Sketch.. I did tweek it just a tiny bit, I put my flower on the other side to balance out my image a bit..8-)

Well I don't know how many of you are familiar with the UK's Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine, but That is where I first laid eyes on Bentley Bear and instantly fell in Love! 8-)  I just think he is the Sweetest little furry fellow ever! I printed my Sweet Bentley and his Poinsettias out onto  Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics and added a bit of liquid applique to his kitty's hat and touch of shading with Antique Linen Distress ink. I cut him out, matted him up and embossed the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of red CS from my stash and some Darling dp's from Authenique's Wonder 6x6 set. To finish it all up, added a fun scalloped die-namic border, a bit of ribbon from my stash, a cute little Prima flower and a few sweet gold adhesive pearls... Pretty easy peasy, huh?... 8-)
I sure hope you can play along with us this week at The Sweet Stop! Can't wait to see what you all come up with. And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Wonderful creations the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have whipped up for your inspiration. Leave them a little Love too, it's always greatly Appreciated.... 8-) 
              


Hope you all have a Fabulous weekend & thank so much for visiting today! 8-)
Thanks for stopping by!
