Bless You...

I've had this stamp set for a while and just had to use it!  I LOVE how this turned out!  The cool bear is from the Forest Friends set and I colored him with Copic markers. And the phrase is from Tag Tidbits, a much-loved set.  The "sketch" is by my friend, Christine, another angel.  I've used her sketches quite a few times and have given a link to her blog in previous posts.



I used Amelia SWIC which is retired but I'm trying to use up my stash - beautiful paper!  The dots are made using my 1/4" hole punch then adding a dab of Glossy Accents.  Here's a close-up of the bear's body...


 Doesn't he look kinda fuzzy?  This was done using a textured paper towel and the Copic "blender" fluid.  Oh, and I used the following markers: E55, E57, E59, YR24, T2, T5, G14, YG09, and G19.  I also used the Gray Tombow marker to outline this cool guy.  All stamping was done with the Momento Tuxedo Black ink and White Caboodle cardstock (a paper recommended by Copic).


What do you think of my "dots"?  I often use the hole punch and Glossy Accents/Crystal Lacquer to embellish when I don't have a brad or something that I like.
