Gooooood mornin' y'all and happy Sunday, which means it's time for a new Paper Players challenge to drop! We had a fun and fabulous color challenge from LeAnne last week, and now it's time for a CAS challenge from yours truly! Check out our theme:
I'd be willing to bed that everyone has at least one or two bears in their crafting stash and I want to see them! Your bear could be teddy, gummy, grizzly, polar, koala (technically not a bear, but is bear-shaped), panda, Silly Old, or Care, and that's just what I thought of off the top of my head. I graduated from Baylor University (sic 'em!) so naturally I gravitate towards bear things and I have quite a few bears to choose from in my paper crafting hoard. And as an added bonus, there's this:
Fat Bear Week starts on September 22, where we can all cheer on our
favorite chonkers as they prepare for a long winter's nap, which is what
social media is supposed to be for in my opinion. I recommend a quick Google search if you're not familiar : ) I could not have timed this challenge if I tried but I love that it worked out this way. Also, I recommend following the National Park Service on Facebook, their team deserves all the cookies for their fantastic posts. Anyway, in honor of Fat Bear Week, I decided to use a grizzly bear for my card:
This bear is from a long-retired set called Yukon, which features some lovely art of various animals including Mr. Chonk here. I stamped him in Early Espresso + Versamark, finished with clear embossing powder, and then watercolored. I chose Peaceful Pine as my card base because it's such a lovely green and I feel like I haven't used it enough.
