Another convention swap

My first convention swap had lots of pieces.  I vowed that the next boat load of swaps would be simpler both in style and assembly.  When I first saw the new hostess set Perfect Words, I had a card in mind for the sentiment of "Big Hug."  Here is my vision!


I think the card is stinkin' cute!  I always have thought that the bear in the set Under the stars is either
asking for a hug, or pretending to be a zombie!  I went with the hug option.  This card was super simple to put together.  I did watercolor A LOT of bears, but since it was only one color, not too difficult.  Water coloring can put me into a zen space... always a good place to be. :-)  His red glimmer paper heart is popped up on a dimensional.  Can't see the dimension in the picture, or the glitter.  Well, maybe a bit of the glimmer.

Recipe:
Stamps: Under the stars, Perfect words (new hostess)
Inks: Stazon  black, Early Espresso, Read Red, Crumb Cake
Card stock: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Vanilla, Natural Pack DSP, Red Glimmer Paper
Punches: Corner Rounder, Word Window, Small Heart, Modern Label, 1/4" circle
Accessories: 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon

Still more convention prepping to do!  Off I go!
