Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Four-Legged Friends tag using Dina Wakley's Scribbly Bears Stamp Set

Happy Monday and welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week we are focusing on four-legged friends.  I'm not sure if a bear falls into the "friend" category (hopefully so if encountered in the wild), but I do love this stamp set by Dina Wakley.


I started by cutting a tag using Waffle Flower's Nested Tags die set and some Kraft Heavystock.  Then I scribbled and painted on a piece of paper to create a colorful collage I could tear up for my tag.


Once my painty background dried, I tore off a piece and glued it to my tag.  I blended the edges in with white paint.  I added some more pinkish-red around the edges.


While the paint and glue dried, I stamped this bear image from Dina's stamp set.  Then I went back to my tag and added some scribbling with Dylusions Intense Colour Caykes and Sticks.


Next I water-colored the bear and heat-embossed some pen dot doodles onto dark brown cardstock using an embossing pen and white embossing powder.  I cut the embossed paper into an oval frame shape.


I added some paint to my oval frame and glued my bear to it.  I stamped some alphabet text from a Tim Holtz stamp set (Glitch 2) onto a piece of paper and also cut and painted a border using AALL & Create's Tear it Out die set.


All that was left was to assemble!  I also found a quote that I cut from Dina Wakley's Ledger 2 paper, so I tacked that on at the end to finish this off.


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
