You may notice that my image looks slightly different from the linked digi. That my friends is the benefit of digital images! I wanted the second bear to be standing closer to his Pappa, so I just used my PhotoShop Elements 7 to bring him closer. I followed the more simple option of the two sketchs at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week.
On the inside of the card I used another of Meljen's Designs latest release, Number One Dad Stitched:
I wanted to feature both stamps and still enable myself to use more of the gorgeous patterned paper and provide the kids with room to sign their names. On the other side I typed a sentiment on the computer - one that the kids will love! The joke in our family is how it has taken a tent trailer to get Mommy to go camping (what can I say except that I demand a dry bed and a table inside so that I can play with my copics if it rains!).
Each bear was coloured with a different shade of brown and gently dabbed with an old cloth soaked in blending solution.
Copic Details
Pappa Bear: E31/E33/E35
Bear cheeks: R21
Bear paws: E30
Standing Bear: E41/E42/E44
