Welcome! Today I am using one of my favorite bear stamps, Belle, from Repeat Impressions but using it with a new technique of using nesting dies to emboss an impression background. I saw this technique on Jennifer McGuire's
blog and had to try. The embossing makes a nice frame around my Bear in Pink. I stamped her with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored her with Copics, and fussy cut the image. I added some foam craft to her back before attaching to the White card base. Finished with Cheery Lynn die cut words cut from DCWV adhesive Pink CS. I edged the card with a pink Copic marker.

Lovely! I think that if Paddington Bear had a sister, she's look like this. What a wonderful critter you've added to the gallery.
