Happy 4th of July

I have always been in love with
teddy bears.  Growing up my bed
was covered with various sizes
dressed in array of outfits.  Stampin'Up has the cutest stamp set
named Baby Bear on page 84.  It is
three stamps to get the details of this
special guy. The three main stamps are numbered one through 3 and you are told to start with the number 1 stamp which is the very dark details then the 2nd and finally the silhouette which is his lightest background.  I found starting with the last stamp the background made for much easier placement of the other two stamps. Because this was a class at the library I stamped 15 teddy bears using the new Stamparatus and found having the silhouette first made the rest of the stamping easy work.  The lightest color was Sahara Sand, then Crumb Cake and the darkest Early Expresso. Whether there is a new baby in the family future or like me you just love Teddy consider adding this special set to your stash.  Can't wait to dress him for Christmas ! Happy 4th of July to you and yours. God Bless America.
