Inspired by { Painted Papers }

 This week Denise is sharing this Painted Paper wall paper site for Inspiration they have Pinterest boards seen here and I laughed when I seen this pin of pale Kraft or tan Gingham. I have piles and piles of Gingham papers so, I stopped looking after that. 

And I tried too hard and made a really not pretty Baby card, and then I had one more piece of this print in this color in the Simple Stories Simple Vintage pad and I started over again with this Darcie's Bear. ( it has patches and a Band-Aid on its forehead and I thought it would work well for a feel better type card.) So I stamped the bear with some Versafine Clair Sand dune ink on some Arches cold press and used some Daniel Smith watercolors on it.


 These colors are off here, lately it seems like everything I shoot with my camera is off and this is actually a tinge more red in real life so, that is probably why its off. Red is picky to shoot digitally to me. I did cut this out with scissors and then popped it up on some foam dots over the printed Gingham paper.


 I wanted to the paper showing around the bear so, I kept it simple and used an Avery Elle die to cut it out and then stamped the Clearly Besotted Message me sentiment directly on the paper with some Acorn ink. The base here is a rich shade of Kraft that is nearly the same colors of paint as used on the bear and it's A2 in real life. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping by.
