Hi crafty friends!
This week I played with Newtons Nook's Sending Hugs stamp set.
I never have a plan when making a card so I made a mask for the bear and the gift I thought I would keep him on the paper and mask him off for inking but ended up fussy cutting. I only used the mask for the bear so I could stamp the gift with him holding it.
I used my stamp platform to help me stamp the background. I stamped everything in Memento Black ink. Then colored in all of the images with alcohol markers. I didn't do any shading since the images are so small.
I did make a little mistake you can see it up on the right towards the top so my design of the card would need to cover it up. After the coloring was done I inked the edges with blue ink.
I matted the colored page with Kraft cardstock and die cut two banners for the sentiment. I stamped the Sentiment with Versafine Black ink.
I added some black Nuvo drops on his eyes and on his nose to help them pop a little bit.
Thanks for stopping by today!
