October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring "Share the Magic," a set of 12 adorable Christmas stamps. (If you're coming from Antoinette's site, stop here and rest a moment, then hop on to my friend Shirley's blog!)Since I'm not quite ready for Christmas crafting (yet), the teddy bear in this set jumped out at me. I couldn't resist playing along with this week's Heart 2 Heart "ABC" challenge:
A= Alphabet. Use alphabet stamps, stickers, etc., in some way on your project.
B= Boy. Your project must be for a boy.
C= Chocolate. You must include the color Chocolate somewhere on your artwork.
What do you think of my teddy bear medallion? Can you tell what I made it from?
It's the edge of a brown paper bag! I used the Magnifique paper pack (with Chocolate in it), Chocolate ink for the bear, and the Old World stamp set (the A in the challenge). I colored the bear with my waterbrush and Chocolate and Bamboo inks. The Mocha Opaque Pearls were the perfect finishing touch.Thanks for stopping by, and now go check out Shirley's creation! (If you get lost on the hop, click HERE for the list!)
Techniques: waterbrush coloring; pleated pinwheel; paper ruffles
Supplies from Close To My Heart: Share the Magic and Old World alphabet stamp sets; Magnifique paper pack; Chocolate, Bamboo, and Pacifica inks; 1.25" circle punch; waterbrush; Mocha Opaques
