Penny Black - Mama Bear

Hi everyone.  I'm sharing another of the newer release from Penny Black.  This stamp is called Mama Bear (30-908).  I stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder before watercolouring with Distress Inks.

I masked the bears before adding some sponged stenciling to the background using the Penny Black Honeycomb Stencil (25-012) with more Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Wild Honey).

To finish, I added a sweet sentiment (Penny Black's Family Sentiments 30-555), stamped in black and heat embossed in clear to match the image.  I some how managed to get some stray drops of brown ink onto my card front ... so I went with that and added brown splatters so it looks like it was intentional. :)

Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to the Just Us Girls Challenge #639 - Mammals.  I'm so happy to play along!

And, I'm also sending this over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for July.  

Thanks for stopping by!

How adorable the mama bear and her cub, Loll! The yellow honeycomb background adds warmth to the scene, and looks great with the brown bears. The brown splatters do look intentional! :-)
