A Happy Birthday from Bip the Bear

The latest collection of Billboard stamps and Letterbox Alphabet stamps has just been released by Clarity Crafts.  This time featuring Bip the Bear!  Here is my first sample using them.

Stamp one of the Bip the Bear Billboard images onto a 7” x 7” white card blank in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add the triple box from the Bip the Bear Letterbox Alphabet stamps in the same ink.

Add Happy Birthday from the first stamp set into the billboard likewise.

Add the letters SAM into the letterboxes.

Mask up both images and add low tack tape above and below creating a panel.

Brush Salty Ocean Distress ink through the aperture. Remove the masking.

Colour the bears with Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils and blend with a watercolour brush pen (#266, #112, #267, #272, #273, #270, 131, #190).

Colour the letterboxes likewise (#272, #273, #270).

To finish, add one of the mini sentiments into the corner of the billboard in Jet Black Archival ink using a Clarity stamp pen.
