Shall We Dance?

Welcome!  Some stamps just make me smile, like this one - dancing bears from Lili of The Valley called Shall We Dance which I have had over 5 years.   I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on GKD white CS and colored with copics.  I had fun accessorizing their fancy outfits with Black Gemstones(cufflinks and buttons)  and Pearls (necklace and shoes).  I did a color wash in the background with Distress Oxide Ink and a water brush.  After trimming the image, I adhered it to a mat of dark gray CS and then to a base card of shimmering  pink pearl CS. The GKD sentiment was stamped with black ink and embossed with clear EP.  I will stash this card away for our anniversary in October.

Bear with Flower

Hello! Playing with an old LOTV stamp called Teddy with Flower to create this card using some favorite colors of Pink and Yellow. Colored the Bear  with Copics and the flower with Distress Oxide inks Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey and Peeled Paint after I stamped with Memento Black ink on White CS.  The Hello was stamped with a Power Poppy stamp.
