I made this card for Natasha's Fall-to Layout #36, Take Two. I'm also entering it into Darnell's NBUS challenge #12 (Never Before Used Schtuff.) The new items are all dies - the teddy bear, the stitched circle, and the "holey" circles. (I see when I was linking up the blog post that I got the sketch a tad wrong, but I think it will be fine.)
It was so great to be back into my stamping room! A few new dies were delivered while we were staying at our son's house. I finally got a chance to use them. I cut the teddy bear out of kraft. I tried brayering a light brown onto the raised areas, but I got ink in the depressed areas, too. So, I just sponged more ink over the whole thing. I added black "nail heads" to his eyes. (Gosh, that sounds painful! I swear I did it gently.) I had cut the circle out of red with my new stitched circle dies. Then I used the die with holes to die cut inside the stitched circle. I added the teddy bear to the circle and mounted the circle on foam squares. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. The patterned paper is very, very old. I matted both layers with black.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Very cute teddy!
ReplyDeleteI love LOVE how your Teddy bear turned out! He's so adorable!! You cracked me up about the nail heads. Yes, it sounded a little brutal. I didn't know there was brutality in stamping, tee hee! Anyway, super cute all over. Your NBUS doesn't stay NBUS very long, does it? I wanna be like you hoo hoo!
