When I saw the Inspired By Challenge this week, I HAD to play. I am late to the party with my acquisition of the Essentials By Ellen Bear Ware Collection, but now I will be using them like crazy as I finally have them all. Thanks to my enabler - she knows who she is! I hand drew the collar and cuffs of Bear's sweater. and gave them a little sparkle with WOS. If you look closely at his sweater, you can see a herringbone pattern that I added with some masking and a stamp from PTI's Background Basics Herringbone. The stripes he is standing on are from PTI's Background Basics Super Stripes. I have had both these sets for years. I am using my NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff! This is a Valentine for my coffee-loving son. He will love it.
I am also playing at:
This is so cute. Perfect to use the polar bear with these colors. I also have these stamps but haven’t used them. You’ve inspired me! Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!

ReplyDeleteIf it is me of whom you speak, you're very welcome - and yet, I STILL don't have the original set in my own stash!! I borrow my friend's stamp every chance I get - which is now next to never since she's moved to Ohio!! LOL
