Our fellow SCSer Vikki Jo, aka vikkijo, requested a Tea Party for her hubby and biggest fan to say Thank You. Clint loves bears, the outdoors and the color purple. We were also asked to include some woodgrain as he is a woodworker.
I stamped the mountain scene on white cs. The bear is a digital stamp I bought years ago from Etsy but don't remember the shop's name. I enlarged the bear printed on white cs. I scored the paper and swiped the ink pads using the faux wood technique from GinaK. Cut out the bear using a craft knife then mounted the piece with foam tape over the stamped scene. Added the sentiment which was computer generated using Elephant font and adhered to base panel.
Clint's 50th birthday has just passed and Father's Day is fast approaching. Hope Clint enjoys the many cards headed his way and will feel much celebrated. Hope you are feeling celebrated today too. TFL

Well, as usual, Jean never reads directions very well....I forgot about the woodgrain. I could add some inside, I guess. This is very cool, love that scenic bear.
