Bear Hugs

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have a threefer to share with you today.

First up are a couple of valentines for grandsons.

All of these bears are colored with Copics.

I've stenciled a little in the background of this one, given him a heart and

framed him with this UFO frame.

 

This time he's cut with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle and his sign includes

a die cut and heat embossed hugs,  His heart is punched and heat embossed too.

For my threefer....

This time I masked off the sign when I stamped and replaced it with

a string and a balloon punched from an alcohol inked background.

The plaid paper was bearly big enough for a narrow mat, but I was able

to make it work and even salvaged some tiny pieces to add to the tag.

The background is inked with brushes and some tiny sprigs of grass

finish off the scene.

Unfortunately this stamp set has been languishing in my NBUS box for

far too long and has been discontinued.  Why do these companies retire their

stamps so quickly?

Challenges:

NBUS #35 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Snippets Playground #421 - Use your snippets (I used snippets for balloon, tag and mat)
