I have 2 cards this week...because I love coloring these 

awesome new images!!

My first card is 

"Bear Buddies"

with the 

"Beary Best"

sentiment

I colored these cuties with Derwent Inktense pencils and their

boots with Tombows. I paper pieced a few of the new

"Love Hearts" image, cut them out and layered them.

For my next card I am using

"Happy Hippos"

with the 

"Friends Are We"

sentiment

I painted the adorable Hippos with Tombow  markers.

The DP is from the "Dreamcatcher" paper pad.

I hope you will have time to play along with us this week...
