I am having a blast with all of my new OCL stamps from i {heart} papers! I was determined to get to stamp tonight so that I could finally put ink to this stamp, Bear-ly Fishin'! Isn't he just the cutest thing!?Have you ever been so excited to have a fish on your hook that you jerked the poor thing clean out of the water? That's what this card makes me think of!
I stamped the bear in Palette Noir ink, then masked him off to add the grass/flowers and sponge in some Bordering Blue sky. I used prismas and baby oil to color him in. I added some bright yellow Copic colors to the flowers, and dotted their centers with a white gel pen. I used nestabilities (standard circles, large and small) to cut out the large circle and emboss its edges. The smaller circles are punches. I had some scraps of this great fishing lures paper from Sugartree JQ Outdoors, and the rulers from Sticker Studio. All of the papers were sponged with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. I couldn't resist adding some monofilament between the focal image and the smaller accent.
This sketch is a sketch by Cambria that was posted as a contest on the OCL forum. I'm so glad that I got to play along! So fun!
