Rainy bear

Hello! I'm here to show you my DT card with an "Oldie but Goodie" image from the Bugaboo store.
I saw this sketch and thought it suited my new goal of using more scraps before I will let myself cut into any new, untouched DPs. I had already colored up my image and started my hunt in one of three large boxes of scraps. Cough, hm yes, I'm embarrased to say I have that much scraps available, but I'm quite the DP addict, even though I've enjoyed making my own backgrounds lately... So I went on a hunt for something yellow, blue and red and had no trouble finding these colored papers in my stash.
I tied my string a bit differently than in the sketch because I didn't want to cover up the image. And I chose a red button to balance with the red Dymo made sentiment.
The weather in Oslo feels like something in between summer and autumn, which I think my card does too.

This card is also for:

Crafts Galore Encore - Use a Stamp or Digi

    He is so cute. Such a sweet image. We are in the middle of a heatwave in the UK. Temperatures of 30+ deg. I am sure we will have rain soon, storm clouds are gathering!

    Cute image Pia and beautifully coloured. Well done on your goal of using up the DPs, I have stacks but rarely ever use papers - really need to make an effort!
    Sorry for the lack of comments, but real life just took over!

    Awww, excellent coloring of this little guy! No rain in California for a while, but fall is in the air. Great job using the sketch... RetroSketches have been too detailed for my attention span and time constraints lately :(
