And now...I've got a little bit to share about today's MOMMA BEAR and FRIENDS card!

I love that this stamp set has an assortment of images in both a large and small size....because sometimes, I like to create background prints/paper with stamped images.
And...I thought that the smaller Momma Bear image wold be perfect for creating a background print.
I also knew that I wanted to use a bright colorful palette for this card.

I started by creating the stamped background with the smaller Momma Bear image and a few bright ink colors...
Next...I stamped the larger image on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock using my stamp positioning tool...and  Gina K (Black) Amalgam Ink...my fave ink for silhouette stamping.
After stamping the image twice, I left the stamp in it's position inside of the positioning tool because I would be coming back to stamp the image again after the card front piece was created.

Next...I used BLUE KNIGHT SELECT PanPastels to add color to the image piece.
I used the PanPastel colorless blender to smoothly blend the lines between the different colors.
I place the image piece back into the stamp positioning tool and stamped...re-inked...stamped---re-inked a few times until the silhouette image was a deep sod black color...without any spotting.
(NOTE: The Amalgam Ink requires a few minutes of drying time.)
When working with PanPastels you'll need to seal the image....
So...After the ink had dried, I sealed the image by spraying it lightly with NEXXUS COMB THRU hair spray.
(Yes...NEXXUS hair spray!)

I matted both the image piece and the background print piece with black cards stock.
I positioned the image piece with foam for added dimension.
And wha-la!
The card was complete!

Yes!
This is an easy and speedy card to create!

I'm already thinking about how I'll be using the other stamps in this new release stamp set...specifically with some of Blue Knights scene stamps!
