I have got to, got to find my missing Hero Arts sentiments. I stamped and coloured this image last night for the tea-party, and then my layout didn't work because I couldn't find those stamps. Luckily today's sketch came to the rescue and gave me an alternative layout. My long horizontal strip is all there, though because it's narrow, some of it doesn't show.
A2 base, gingham papers and watercolour paper.
Penny Black images coloured with distress inks (Brushed Corduroy, Frayed Burlap, Old Paper, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Barn Door, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass), all panels cut with Deckle Rectangles. I added two tiny buttons and stitching lines.

I'm glad you couldn't find those stamps for this one! It's soooo cute. I love the image and your coloring/colors. I hope you've found those missing stamps.

Awww Sabrina this Penny Black Bear is one of my favorites and I have it in my stamp collection as well. You colored it beautifully and the gingham paper is so sweet with it. MaryLou is going to love this. It is just precious.

Your little bear reminds me of Winnie the Pooh, and I LOVE all that gingham.
