S'More of My Favorite Bear

Yes I am back again to share another card with that adorable bear from the Under the Stars stamp set. I used the grid technique on the front of the card.  If you remember, I used this technique on a cupcake card I shared with you a little bit ago.  However, I love this little bear.

I started by stamping the bear and the raccoon on a piece of whisper white card stock.  I colored them using the Stampin' Up! stampin' write markers.  Then I cut them out and put them to the side.  Then I took a piece of whisper white cut at 4" x 5" and using a pencil and a ruler, divided it into 1" squares.  I then stamped my bear and raccoon (no I did not forget they are waiting on the side, but you need to stamp the images on the grid too.  Last stamp I used was the smore.  I had it go from one corner diagonal to the opposite bottom corner.  Then I erased the pencil lines that go through the stamped images and traced the remaining lines with my soft suede marker.  I colored a checker board pattern alternating white and crumb cake.  Then I colored in my bear, raccoon, and smores.  Once that was all done, I took my bear and raccoon who had been waiting patiently and using dimensionals, I placed them on top of the matching stamped image.  This adds dimension to the card.  And here is the final product:



Did you think I forgot the picture?  I just decided today to change it up a bit and give you a recipe first.  This card is perfect to send to that person in your life who loves to camp or loves smores.  Inside you could include a message for a birthday or just to say hi.  In other words, it is an anything card.  Don't you just love those?
That's it for today.  Tomorrow and Friday, I will be sharing some more Christmas cards I have been working on so be sure to stop by.  Thanks for dropping in today.
