I challenged myself to use a stamp I'd never used before...I won a gift certificate and bought this stamp from Impressions of Faith, who sadly went out of business right after I won the contest...sniff...but I got this set of lovely seasonal bears. I wonder if another company has picked them up? I know several other companies purchased the plates. ANYWAY........I colored the bear and box with Prismacolors and OMS. There's Stardust on the bow, which you probably can't see. The background of the stamped panel is watercolored - I made a border just inside the edge with my watercolor pencils and brushed in with a waterbrush. Used Snap Stamps for the saying in the corner. Does this really qualify for the SC, if I didn't put anything in the bottom right corner? The BG paper was so busy that it just seemed excessive. LMK if I need to try again. The paper is a free download from www.amsdigiscraps.com - Your Love is Better Than Chocolate(c) 2005 Ams Digi Scraps.

This is just gorgeous! Wonderful coloring! I hate that this company went out of business, but I can see why they chose you for the contest winner. Great job!
