Don't you just love Release Week? I know I do! I've got another suh-weet stamp for you and if you like to color...this was made for you! This is Garden Bear (G467):
Garden Bear is all colored up with Copics (see below) and then die cut using the "Out of the Box" technique and a Spellbinders oval.
And, of course, there's a matching sentiment! TLC (B226)
This week I decided to participate in a sketch challenge from Sassy Cheryl. I turned this design on its side. I think I'll use this one a few more times...
Did you see that tag with the chevrons...behind the bear? Don't let it fool you...it's a 4th generation tag! I knew what I wanted. It just took a little longer getting there than I thought.
First it was a white tag with Broken China Distress Ink.
*decided I didn't like the contrast of the white tag*
Then it was Picket Fence Distress Stain through the Studio Calico mask.
*they didn't even look like chevrons, just splotches*
Then I flipped the mask over and tried using the ink on the mask.
*nope. almost the same results as above*
Finally, I decided to use the white Mister Huey spray...and like magic the chevrons appeared!
One day I will be weeks ahead of schedule and I will do a bloopers post and show you how some of my ideas started out...ya know...before they were lovely! lol
