I also used the smallest square die in Stitched Shapes to create the little panels to stamp the bears.  I elongate the square shape by  partial die cutting the cardstock.

Using the misty stamping tool, I stamped the sentiment from One Big Meaning Stamp Set  with Early Expreso ink, then I stamped it over with Versamark ink and I applied clear embossing powder to make it darker.

Wondering how I elongated the square stitched die? Have a look at my quick video with some tips!

That's all!

I hope winter is not being harsh with you all . My children, my hubby and I got the seasonal flu  and we have been feeling very poorly. Doctors in the ER tell us to take paracetamol and ibuprofen and we were doing fine but the last couple of days has been very hard. What a nasty bug is this one!

Despite the headache, earache, sore throat .. etc .  I managed to make this easy card  for  my father-in-law and his wife  using the challenge sketch, they have been very  kind to us this week, they brought vitamins, remedies and some goodies, and helped us with some  important things here at home.

I think Bear Hugs Stamp Set is just perfect to make family oriented cards. Don't you think so?
