I am guessing that by now you will guess that this is another card from The Glitter Pot's weekend!! I have got to hand it to Penny Black as their teddies are just lovely. Before I started using Copics I always used to struggle to get my teddies to look nice but nowadays I definitely find it easier. He was stamped using Starlite Black which is a very soft black - more a dark grey. By stamping with a softer colour it then isn't immediately apparent that it has been stamped at all and lots of people thought that the teddies I had coloured had been printed!!
The holly you can see on the right of the card is by Hero Arts and was simply stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with clear powder. Background papers then make up the rest of the card - sorry can't remember whose they are but
The Glitter Pot stock them! Plus of course they stock the stamps used and the Copic Ciaos that I used to colour him with.

Hi Kay, Lovely card. The Versamark and clear embossing really lift the background. Such a simple, but effective technique. Love the red (my fav colour) highlights.
Has the comment I left on yesterday's post not showed up? I included details of where I ordered my Bazzill Swatchbooks.
Hugs, Pauline x
Hi Pauline,
Thanks for the kind comments.
I'm afraid that I didn't receive a comment from you yesterday so I guess that this time your IT dept must be at fault!!

Yesterday's comment was sent from my pc at home. The wonderful workings of IT. I'll try again.
I ordered my Bazzill Swatch books from Happy N Scrappin [http://store.happynscrappin.com/20sw.html] an American retailer. Shipping was $12.00 as I opted for them to take the swatches out of the box and send in a flat rate mailer.
You can buy in UK at Cardinal Colours [http://www.cardinalcolours.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=46] or Craft Obsessions [http://www.craftobsessions.co.uk/bazzillswatchbooks_2219.php]. There are others but they don't have the whole range.

Thanks so much Pauline for re-sending me the information on the Bazzill swatches - I really appreciate it. I will check it all out when I have a bit more time!!
Thanks again.
