I just ordered this single stamp, Bearing Gifts, and decided to ink it up right away in celebration of Introduction Day! I love playing with my Blendabilities…and this was fun to color! I also LOVE that stripe in the Nordic Noel Designer Paper!
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White, folded in half.
- I embossed half of the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Real Red with the Lucky Stars Folder.
- I added a 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Nordic Noel Designer Paper along the right side. To hide the seam, I used a 1/2 x 5 1/4 strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper! So sparkly!
- I cut the Party Pennant from Whisper White and stamped the Bearing Gifts image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on it. I used my Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake Blendabilities Markers to color in the kids. I also outlined the bear lightly with a Soft Sky Stampin’ Write Marker for some dimension. I added the pennant to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I saved the greeting for the inside, so used Merry & Bright from the hostess set, Good Greetings that is available now. It was stamped with Real Red ink on scrap Whisper White and cut with a flag end.
