Teddy Bear Blog Hop

I'm still playing with TAC stamps (I'll never quit!) and decided to join a Teddy Bear Blog Hop sponsored by Debra Miller.  And, yes, I know my card doesn't have a "teddy bear" (I don't have any teddy stamps) but it is a bear!  This "hugable" looking creature is from the Forest Friends set.


I colored this cutie with Copic markers.  The distressed background was made with my Wizard and the Tim Holtz Woodgrain embossing folder.  I used DCWV white core card stock for the background and got a great distressed look as the paper tore a bit when embossed plus I did a bit of sanding also. I also used 2 Nesties, Labels 5 and 9.  A slot punch was used to make the holes for the ribbon.

He does not have mange but I did used the Copic blender refill on a piece of terry cloth towel to "speckle" him.  Almost looks like fur...  And I used Crystal Lacquer on the eyes and nose.

All but the Blender refill is shown here of the Copics I used.  (Opps, I missed T5 for the claws.)

Please visit these other "angels" blogs for their bear projects. Oh, and Happy Teddy Bear Day!
