ABB Selfie Bear and Bird Easel Card

Hello everyone! I'm stopping by with a easel card I've made using a adorable  Art By Barb Designs digital stamp called Selfie Bear and Bird . This image can be found in the Selfie Snapshots Collection . I love this collection so much. I've coloured the image using coloured Biro Ball Point Pens. I think the effect it creates looks good for creating fluffy fur. I've used lots of recycled materials on this card. The base card is thick box card which I stenciled writing on and tore of lots of the card to show some of the under/inner of the card. Which adds a great textural element. I've used a clock die, a rectangle stitched effect die, a swirl die and flower dies. Using brown packing paper I stamped and embossed elements to create more interest and layers to the background. I made the sentiment using computer text to fit with the image. I made the beads by rolling up paper and added a wing charm to it which I've recycled from a old card I made. I hope that yo
