Consider This A Hug

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Aaaw, isn't this little bear from Mama Elephant's set called Page Hugger the cutest? I couldn't resist and had to use him on a card.

I started by stamping the bear in black ink. As a little accessoires I chose the letter with a tiny heart for him to 'hug'!
I coloured him with coloured pencils. Coloured pencils are my favorite colouring medium. It takes more time than colouring with alcohol markers but I find it very relaxing. And it is so much easier to add details and shadows. To add some highlights I used a white gel pen. And to make the eyes and the nose extra black I used a black gel pen on them.

For the frame I die cut My Favorite Things' Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames several times from white cardstock and stacked them up to achieve some dimension.

I die cut a banner form pink cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment in white on it. It is from my new favorite sentiment set called Lots of Hugs by My Favorite Things. I like the font and sentiments are just too cute.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
