There are some adorable new Baby Bamboo stamps from the Party Paws Collection at Crafter's Companion releasing on March 6th ... here's a little sneak peak from one of the sets.
When I was young, I collected teddy bears ... and my favorite was my pink bear wtih orange button eyes that was my faithful companion for years. While Baby Bamboo is an adorable Panda, I chose to turn him into my pink childhood teddy bear using paper piecing and ink sponging with some Basic Grey papers.
I stamped the flower twice adhering the center with a super-thick glue dot for dimension. The sketch is from this week's i {heart} card sketches.
I embossed my paper strips using the 6" x 6" Embossalicious Floral Frenzy embossing folder (love having the bigger folder ... and it still fits through my Cuttlebug.
My design was also inspired by this week's For Your Inspiration photo ... love all of that fabulous pink.
I'm also joining the Use Embossing theme at the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.
Here's a close-up shot of my cute little bear.
You can see more previews from the other design team members or on the Crafter's Companion Facebook Page.
