Bip the Bear Wears a Sombrero

I coordinated the colours on this Bip the Bear card with some ribbon from my stash.

Die cut a piece of Clarity stencil card using the middle nested oval scallop doodle aperture frame-its die.

Add the sombrero outline from the Bip the Bear Wears Many Hats set into the middle in Jet Black Archival ink. Add the infill in Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide and mask up.

Add Bip in the same black ink as before and mask.

Die cut the topper using the 4” x 5” nested oval die and a mat from Indian Summer Companion Paper using the corresponding picot die.

Remove the masks and colour Bip using Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils, blended with a watercolour brush pen (#115, #166, #185, #183, #186).

Take coordinating ribbon and weave it through the aperture frame. Fix on the back and add to the mat.

Add two strips of ribbon to the front of a 6” x 6” white card blank with a tape runner and neaten each end.

Add the topper to the card.

To finish, go round a Pinky Gray Greetings sticker with a green Sharpie pen and add it to the front of the card.
