I did warn you a few weeks ago that will be making LOTS of baby cards for all my friends who pregnant, so far only little boys have arrived but I have placed a receive for a little girl soon {wink, wink} girls are much more fun to make cards for. Pretty much I was told to go away by one {but not quite using those words} and another said they just want a happy and healthy baby which really… how can I disagree with that.
This time around for little Cody I have used Cheerful Critters which is in the Occasions catalogue and TOTALLY CUTE. I used the other images in the set {bunny and chick} for Easter project which you will see in a very soon but I love stamp sets that I can use in different ways for many occasions, my nieces love this set also and they have added to their growing wish list of stamps {No really the youngest has a written wish list and Catalogue’s marked with what she owns already}
I felt that the bear needed a little more height so I stamped a extra image using only from under the arms and down. I stamped the image on Crumb Cake cardstock in Jet Black StazOn and coloured the image with a blender pen in Whisper White and Island Indigo re-inker for the shirt, Crumb Cake and Baked Brown Sugar for the fur and a little Blushing Bride on the ears. I really like the look of the watercolouring on the Crumb Cake cardstock.
I created the background by brushing Island Indigo re-inker with a aqua painter down Crumb Cake cardstock, the piece I coloured was larger then I needed so I could trim the edges giving me a full flow of colour.
I added the pattern using the circle mask, attached to my work surface with washi tape. I traced the circle outline with a Lost Lagoon marker then did a little scribble through the center.
