I Love You Mummy Bear

Afternoon all, how are we today?  You would not believe how late I slept in this morning!  Never mind eh, doesn't hurt once in a while.

I picked up the new edition of Craft Stamper yesterday and was immediately captivated by a technique demonstrated by Chrissie Stokes.  I knew I just had to try it so after a couple of false starts and wrestling with acetate this is my first attempt.  By no means perfect, it will need shed loads of practice to get it right, but for a first go I'm happy enough.

Four challenges for this card

Ready Teddy Go - Mum's The Word

Forever Friends Fortnightly - Bears
Allsorts Challenge - For a Lady
Stamping With the Dragon - Anything Goes

I've used Alfie Bear from Craftwork Cards

Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Vintage Photo, Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain, Tattered Rose

Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord

The faux quilted background is done in Shaded Lilac DI, and the tiny hearts stamped

in the same colour are from a Hero Arts clear set

Sentiment is of course LOTV

Like I said, the quilting technique needs practice, I've not got it very even, and my acetate was too thin I think as it kept wobbling and moving.  But I'll have another go until I get it right.  Chrissie made it look so easy - ha!

Hugs, Squirrel xx
