Stamping Dragon Designs - Theme Teddy Bears

This week's challenge at Stamping Dragon Designs is a Teddy Bear Theme. So here is my card, I started off using Bronze metallic paper for my base which is 5"x 7" finished card size. For the rest of my papers I used "Lost & Found Two Blush 'Princess' for the first layer. I used Madison Avenue 'Sisters" Lace paper and 'Sisters' Boutique Glitter paper to make a frame. I cut the first pink paper out using Spellbinders 'Lacey Ovals' and brown glitter paper was cut out using 'Floral Ovals'. I added some pink/brown ribbon by May Arts as shown. I printed the Teddy with a Heart onto shimmery white paper and coloured him using Copic Markers. I then used this technique to make his fur appear fluffy. I took an old towel, bunched it up because you are working with a small area at a time. Spritz the towel with Copic Blending Solution and each time you applied the towel to the bear use a different portion of the towel. For the heart I used a background stamp called 'En Francais' by Stampin'Up and spritz it with Copic Blending Solution and did the same thing. You don't need a lot of Blending Solution to achieve this look, less is better otherwise it bleeds as seen in the heart. I added some Prima Flowers 'Candy Apples' as shown.
