Stitchy Bear Stamps

Stitchy Bear Stamps need some projects to print in upcoming magazine features and are making their selection from the entries at the One Stitch At A Time challenge blog.  This week's theme for challenge #76 was 'Bling It On' and so I found my Short Shorts digi and got to work.

I've cut a side step card from an 8x7 inch piece of DCWV card, not as complicated as some I've seen, just one little step at the side of the main image.  Short Shorts has been coloured with Copics, just dab lightly over any printed areas and hopefully your ink shouldn't run.  If you are still having troubles try card that is not too smooth/glossy and give it time to thoroughly dry.  I use ordinary 6x4 file cards from any stationers or you could experiment with the fast draft, overlay or ink volume settings to try and reduce the density of the ink your printer is using.

I've found lots of summer accessory die cuts and built my blue, lime and orange colour scheme from there.  The other stickers are from Bella Blvd and Bo Bunny.  The lime green card is Papermania and the scalloped circle is punched from My Minds Eye Bohemia paper.

To finish off with a bit of bling I've added Papermania crystals and some Diamond Stickles.
