I'm so thankful for Colorado Craft Company's partnership with Anita Jeram. I love her images and being able to use them on my projects just makes me happy. This card features Anita's Stargazers set. There are two main images, one featuring bunnies, and this pair of bears.
I started by stamping the bears on both a panel of Neenah Solar White cardstock and then on a piece of masking paper using Gina K Black Amalgam ink.
I fussy cut the masking paper, placing it over my stamped image, and then inked the background starting with Scattered Straw on the top right of the stamped image as well as into the top right corner. I wanted the bears to be bathed in moon/starlight from that side. The remainder of the background was inked primarily with Chipped Sapphire, but I did add just a touch of Black Soot to deepen the blue a little.
Once I was happy with the inking, while the mask was still in place, I spritzed with a bit of water and immediately dried the panel with a paper towel.
The mask was then removed, and I colored my image using E21, E23, E25, E27, and E29 for the bears, and YG25, YG67, G28, and G29 for the grass.
With my coloring complete, I placed the panel back into my stamping platform and inked again, this time with Versa Clair black ink to crisp up the lines.
I then used my heat gun to make sure all the ink was totally dry and then white embossed the sentiment, also from the Stargazers set.
To finish things off, I placed my mask back over the stamped/colored image and added some white splatter/stars.
These bears are so sweet, I smiled the whole time I was making this card!
