Today's Featured Stamper is Cathy aka Mutnik - she's such a great and creative stamper, and one of the sweetest SCS ladies ever. Recently, she sent to me a smiling dog card (she drew the smiling dog herself, WOW!) and I still owe her a Thank You card for that. So this was the perfect opportunity to create a Mutnik-CASEd card for her!!
I CASEd this card by Cathy: IC219 - ...moody bear... by Mutnik at Splitcoaststampers
While Cathy used several inchie stamps, I used a single stamp by the German manufacturer StempelBar which contains all these bears. The bears on the stamp are drawn by the German "Bear Painter" Chris Schlag. If you have a second, take a glance at his website: http://www.chrisbears.de/
Cathy popped up one of the bears on her card - I did the same, but you can't see this very well on the photo (it's bear No.4 in the 4th row...). He's got a three-dimensional glossy nose, too, thanks to some Diamond Glaze. Some other bears have one single sparkling tooth - take a close look at the picture!
Cathy, if you like this card, it will go on its way to California!

Hello Christiane! When I first looked at this, I thought I cant imagine the time this must have taken you! Whew, I'm glad to know it's a stamp! What a wonderful idea to find an image with all these bears! How perfect to case Cathy's card.
Your work is phenomenal! I'm so happy to see you've found some time to relax and join in on the fun.
