Hi Everyone! I would first like to introduce you all to the TWO newest Just Us Girls DT members in no particular order: Kathryn Berthiaume & Andrea Matthews :) You may already recognize both of these girls work, as they have both been long-time players with Just Us Girls. Please take a moment to give them a warm welcome :) This week, Lisa is our lovely Hostess & has challenged us with a fun sketch. Melanie, Owner/Designer of *wink *wink ink is sponsoring this week's challenge & she has not only provided each of the JUGS DT members with one of her wonderful digital images to create with but, she is offering a generous give-away to one lucky participant. 
I chose the adore(able) *wink *wink ink Button Bear digi image to feature on my wall hanging ;)
I "flipped" the sketch so a lot of the background DP would still remain visible.
For color inspiration, I used the colors from this week's challenge at The Play Date Cafe ;)
I sized & printed this cute lil' bear image, colored him by using my Copic airbrush & compressor, embossed, then carefully "cut him out". I paper pieced the legs & cut a slit between the paws so he could hold a lil' flower embellishment :) Thanks for looking! Be Sweet :)
For all the details, please visit the Just Us Girls challenge site & be sure to visit ALL the DT girls & Rachael. Once you have your project photographed, be sure to go to Just Us Girls and post a direct link to your project on our site. If you upload to on online gallery, please be sure to label your project as JUGS36.
