Oh these Honey Bear Stuffies from Stamping Bella remind me so much of Winnie the Pooh! Love them! They make such a cute birthday card!
Here is what I came up with…
I didn’t use my Copics to color the image this time, but instead used my Prismacolor colored pencils and Gamsol. I had used my pencils before with a blender pen, but after watching a video on YouTube where the artist used Gamsol and a paint brush to blend the colors. I had used Gamsol before with a blending stump, but found it hard to get the look I wanted. By using the Gamsol and a small paint brush (not a watercolor brush), I was able to get some great blending. I love this technique, and was able to add more layers of color to the image.
Another look…
A close up of the bears…
The Gamsol removed some of the waxy look of the colored pencils even after the many layers of color that I applied. I like the outcome almost as much as my Copics!
I did keep track of the colors that I used and will post them at the bottom under my supply list.
Another look…
To finish the card I added some enamel dots and a fun sun puffy sticker.
One final look…
Happy Friday the 13th! and Happy Crafting!
