Hi everyone. Today I'm using a new stamp set (Bearnaments - Penny Black). This has two adorable bears hanging off Christmas ornaments. I've just used the one so far ... you'll be seeing another soon. :)
I stamped in Versafine Claire Nocturne ink and heat set before watercolouring with Distress Inks. I used a metallic silver pen (Pilot) to fill in the snowflakes on the bauble ... and to colour the hanger at the top; then splattered diluted white acrylic paint for snow. I used the matching die (Bearnaments Cut Out - Penny Black) to cut out the image and popped it up over top of a snowflake dry embossed background (Snowflakes - Cuttlebug). I used one of the newest frames from Penny Black (Whirl), cutting it twice and layering for added depth. To finish, I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set as the bear), onto a white sentiment banner and popped it up inside the frame.

This was a fun image that is easy to colour. I enjoyed layering it up to add lots of texture. :)
