Hoping that I am not the only one who thinks you never outgrow the joy of teddy bears or relaxing in a hammock (or relaxing in a hammock with a teddy bear!).
Since I was trying to stretch the use of my stamps, and didn't want this to scream BABY CARD!!!, I opted to paper piece the hammock with some orange checked DSP from my stash of scraps.
Colored with Copics. Added some white dots to the butterfly and the slumbering hedgie's rosy cheek. Used clear Wink of Stella to glitz up the daisies, the butterfly and the hedgie's "fur." Added some Copic shading to the paper pieced hammock to add a bit of shading. Stamped the Tim Holtz HELLO in the corner.
Was thinking of adding in a hint of sky around the image but decided to quit while I was ahead. Thought the risk of it being one thing too much was too great.
TFL!

Love the idea of using this image for something besides baby! I have it and never use it for that reason so thanks for the idea! Love the paper piecing and of course you KNOW I love your coloring!

This is so sweet, Debbie! You are a master at the great little details that make a good card even better (love the white gel dots on the hedgie's cheek)!! Faved.

Oh, Debbie! I LOVE this and have pinned this one. I agree that this can scream baby (have used it numerous times for that), but THIS is FABULOUS! Love the quills going through the hammock - perfection! And your paper-piecing is perfect! Love it SO MUCH, and I LOVE teddy bears. So I can never have enough of them! Hehe! Hugs, sweet friend, and congrats on another fabulous card! xoxo
