I'm beyond excited to be sharing my first Paperie Ink Design Team project with you today! I am so thrilled to be working with such an amazing artist, some very talented team-mates, and to have the opportunity to play with these SUPER adorable, high-quality stamps and dies!

       

As soon as I saw the little bear in the Flyin' High set, I knew I wanted to color him up using the "no-line technique"... I have tried this before, but this is the first time I've been happy with the results! I'm think the cute image deserves all the credit for my success!! ;)
     
 I started by stamping the bear with Memento Desert Sand Ink, and then coloring him in with my Copics. The balloons are stamped with Memento Dandelion, Summer Sky, and Pear Tart, and shaded with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor Pencils.  All of the images were cut out using the coordinating Flyin' High Die set. The dies are open in the center, making them unbelievably easy to line up and cut out the colored images!
    
After my images were cut out, I added the balloon strings by poking a couple of teeny tiny holes above and below the arm, feeding the three strands of thread through, and connecting them to the back of each balloon with foam adhesive.
