I decided to get out my Bundle of Joy stamp set (from Stamin' up!) for this week's Flashback Friday.
I orginally bought this stamp set two years ago to use for my daughter's baby announcements. I have used it from time to time, but this particular image has only seen ink once! I felt it was time to use it again.
I went on a little search looking for a new challenge to try. I found one at Embellish Magazine's challenge blog. I thought the colors were perfect for the stamp...very soft. The challenge was to use dark green, light green, kraft and yellow. Then as an addition I was challenged to use the paper piecing technique. So I paper pieced the bear. A polka dotted bear seems perfect to me:) I love this technique but I don't use it often enough. I even added a bit of paper piercing for fun.
The details:
Paper: Kraft, Certainly Celery cardstock (SU!); designer paper from Basic Grey
Stamps: Bundle of Joy, Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU!)
Ink: StazOn black, Certainly Celery (SU!)
Accessories: Die from Papertrey Ink, So Saffron Ribbon (SU!), Buttons (PTI), Embroidery thread
Tools: Die machine, dimensional tape, adhesive, paper piercer, scissors
