The image I used is from the Teddy Bo & Co. April Membership bundle called April Oli 05 and is coloured with Copics.  The sentiment I typed up myself in Publisher.  It's an odd shaped card for me, but hey, why did I buy the envelope punch board if not for making my own envelopes.

Teddy Bo & Co. and A Mini Album Page

Hello and welcome here!  It's time to share some Teddy Bo & Co. inspiration.  You can check out some of the action and sneak peeks over on the Facebook page.  Today I have a mini album page to share with you.

Mini Album Page Size:  4" x 6"

My dad passed away Aug. 2016 and I thought a little mini album of the kids and Grandpa from our time with him in July would be special. 

 I used Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters paper collection.

Lots of people saw my dad as a big teddy bear, so it worked out great that I am part of the Teddy Bo & Co. DT and used a teddy bear image from the April Membership release.

It's a double slider card.  I am teaching a class at the local scrapbook store, The Scrapbook Cottage, on creating a double slider card but I also wanted to show how you can use it in your mini albums as well.

Copics Used:

Fur - E21, E33, E57, E59, E51

Vest - V91, V93, Prismacolor 752

Pants - YG61, G21, Prismacolor 756

Shirt/Suspenders - Y28

Coat/Hat - E81, Y28

Teddy Bo & Co. The Bears

Hello and welcome here.  I have been busy the last few days colouring up some digital stamps by Teddy Bo & Co.  This is the 3rd card I have to share.  I have a bit of a tutorial showing the steps I used to paper piece the images.  You can find the action happening over on the Facebook page.

Card Size:  5" x 7"

 I used March-TheBears05 and 06 for my card.  I also paper pieced them which gave them dimension.  The camera doesn't do it justice, it's really 3Dish in real life.

Sorry for the large photo, but it gives you a better idea of the layers.  I'll show you how I did it if you keep reading.

Bo Fur - E21, E33, E35, E27, E53

Shirt - G21, G43, G82, G85

Hat - E31, E42, E43

Sky - BG0000

Bea Fur - E11, E13, E15, E17, E51, E21, Y23

Shirt - R81, R83, R85, C0, C1

Hat - E42, E43

Puff on Hat - C0, C1

Sky - BG0000

Recipe:  PP-BoBunny Garden Journal Pastel, Bazzill CS-black & grey, CTMH CS-White Daisy, Foam, BoBunny Lattice Frame Die.

 So I printed the image 3 times.  I fussy cut out the pieces...I should have kept the face and collar as one piece.  I coloured the areas that are going to be covered with the pieces in grey.

 Here I've coloured the shirt and fur.

Here are all the pieces coloured and ready to be assembled.

Start with adding the collar and face piece.  Here I had to add them separate because I cut them out separately, oops.

The added face.

I've added the snout.

Here's the image ready to be added to the card.

Here are the Bea pieces.  This time I remembered to keep the face and collar together.  I also printed her 3 times and fussy cut the pieces.

Here are the pieces ready to be added to the main image.

I decided the puff could be added separately, so I cut it off to add with foam.

Here I added the puff, it gave it great dimension.

 All finished and ready to be added to a card.

Enjoy, I hope you enjoyed the step by step photos.

Teddy Bo & Co., Bo Holding a Pot of Flowers

Hello and welcome here!  It's another card using a new release from Teddy Bo & Co. I remembered to take some photos while I was colouring them for you to see the process.  You can find the action happening over on the Facebook page.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used March17-TeddyBo6, a super cute image of Teddy Bo holding a pot of flowers.  I coloured him with Copics.

Copics Used:
 Bo Fur - E51, E33, E35, E57, E53
Apron - E42, E43
Pot - E93, E95, YR0s, YR14, YR18
Shoes - B91, B93, B95, N7
Hat - E50, E42
Roses - R20, R21, R32, R35, G46
Ground - W2, W3, W4
Sky - BG0000

Recipe:  PP-BoBunny Madeleine Grace, Bazzill CS-mahogany, CTMH CS-White Daisy, My Favorite Things-Inside/Outside Stitched Rectangle & Four Corners, Foam, Pearls, Copics, Verve Stamps SS-Circular Sayings, Versafine Ink-Onyx Black.

Here's my printed piece all ready to be coloured.  I like to die cut it before I start colouring so that I know where my borders are.

Working on the fur.  I didn't like how shaggy Bo got in my last card so I opted to use dots and give him a smoother coat.

All the fur done...except there's a small piece of ear by the top of the flowers that I'll find later.

Finished colouring the apron.  I shaded it in relation to the folds and where the pot would cast a shadow.

Layering up the colour.  I went with the details on the pot for shading.

The pot all finished!  This was a great combination for a terracotta look.

Finished the shoes.  I could have gone a little darker but I tend to worry that I'll get things too dark and end up on the light side.  Wait, that almost sounds like a Star Wars quote, lol.

I finished the roses and started adding the ground colour.  I used dots for the ground, it resembles gravel.

Ground and sky are done, it's ready for a card!

I hope you enjoyed!
