Hello Everyone.
Yes.....I'm still here.....I simply took a mini break from my hobby and spent a little time with the family. The kids summer vacation is almost over and I needed to give my craft room a break and bond with the family.
While on my mini break, I received some bad news, great news and adorable stamps that I am just itching to color. The bad news is that Kelly (KL Stampin N' Scrappin) had to close down the doors. I enjoyed being a member of Kelly's team, we all got along great and Kelly is super special gal! I will share my great news later this week!
Well enough blabbering on my end, I would love to introduce you to Popcorn The Bear! Popcorn The Bear has finally arrived at 7 Kids College Fund and he is totally adorable in every way!
This particular set of stamps features one large image of Popcorn The Bear, two smaller accessory stamps and five sentiments. Because Popcorn The Bear is a bit large, I stamped my image on card stock and then scaled down the size on my copier machine.
Because I wanted the focal point to be on my image, I kept the layout simple. I embossed the base layer with my Spellbinders Impressabilities Butterfly Embossing Folder. My image was colored in with Copic Markers and mounted on the lg. square Nestabilies dies. I embellished the cover of my card with flowers, buttons and Stickles . I decorated the inside of my card with my sentiment and MS Daisy border punch.
I hope that everyone is enjoying what is left of the summer, August is right around the corner already!!!! Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful card Risa, the embossing looks great and what a fab idea to stamp and resize your image.
