Bear Hug!

Hello!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog today! Valentine stamps don't just have to be used in February! My card today features the Bear Hug stamp set, perfect to send someone who needs a hug!

First i stamped the bear image on some white card stock. This stamp set is a wobble set, so i also stamped the second bear stamp on a piece of scrap card stock. I used my Spectrum Noir to color both images. For the hearts on his pants, i went ahead and colored them red. Its really hard to go around them, so to save my sanity after coloring the shorts i then colored just the hearts with a white opaque pen.

Then i fussy cut out the top part of the full image, and then trimmed remaining card stock. Around the bottom i tied some pink backers twine in a bow. Next i fussy cut the bear head and arms, then i attached wobble to it and then added it the full bear. 

I die cut a small heart from white card stock and then stamped the Bear Hug sentiment. Then i picked out some heart pattern paper and used a stitched rectangle die. I added the rectangle to a white card base.

Then i added the heart to the top right and trimmed off the over hang. With foam tape i adhered the bear image.

Thanks for stopping by!!
