Welcome to day 3 of the May Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Being Wednesday, it is also Freshly Made Sketches day so I have used that inspiration to show you the new Papa Bear stamp set.
I just think this Winston set could not be more perfect for Father’s Day. I love that you can add additional little bears as needed too. I thought it would be fun to color on kraft paper using my Copic markers for this one. I love how it turned out! You see, I have a little blonde one and a bigger brown headed one so I colored the “kids” to match that idea. The boys thought it was a fun idea and since this will be from them, yay! I kept all the coloring tone on tone except for the heart and then added some red framing panels to pull that color out a bit. the corrugated kraft adds a nice bit of texture along with the twine. I tried hard to keep this dad-like with no frills or extra “stuff”.
Our sketch today is perfect for showing off image sets (like this one) and I can’t wait to see what you all do with it this week. Linda Callahan, she of great humor and even greater talent, is our sketch hostess….it is going to be a fun week!
