Bear Hugs Wish

I haven't had much of a chance to use my Bear Hugs stamp set so decided I had better get them dusted off and put them to good use.
You can use your Brick Wall embossing folder but I had one that I had for ages and wanted to give it a try. For the bear, I used watercolor paper and colored him in Delightful Dijon and then used Soft Suede and Early Espresso for shading. The balloons were watercolored on shimmery white paper in different colors, stamped in Archival black and then punched out. I took the Bakers Twine and separated the colors to make it look more like streamers.
