I stamped Creative Expressions Andy Skinner All You Need is a Hug stamp with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto watercolour card.  I coloured her dress, hair, skin and the bears fur with watercolours and left to dry.  

I stamped the matching sentiment onto a snippet of watercolour card again with Nocturne ink.  I trimmed the stamped image and using sponges heavily inked the edges with Picked Raspberry Distress ink.   I lightly sprayed the edges then left until completely dry.  I edged the stamped sentiment lightly with Picked Raspberry Distress ink.

I added the image and sentiment using foam pads and finished with Tonic Studios Studios Nuvo Drops.   I am going to enjoy using the rest of this set of stamps.  Back soon x
