Hi everyone. I'm sharing another of the newer release from Penny Black. This stamp is called Mama Bear (30-908). I stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder before watercolouring with Distress Inks.
I masked the bears before adding some sponged stenciling to the background using the Penny Black Honeycomb Stencil (25-012) with more Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Wild Honey).
To finish, I added a sweet sentiment (Penny Black's Family Sentiments 30-555), stamped in black and heat embossed in clear to match the image. I some how managed to get some stray drops of brown ink onto my card front ... so I went with that and added brown splatters so it looks like it was intentional. :)
Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to the Just Us Girls Challenge #639 - Mammals. I'm so happy to play along!
And, I'm also sending this over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for July.
Thanks for stopping by!
