This little bear is one of the CHA relay digital stamps from The Greeting Farm. He is blue because my constant childhood companion was a homemade, stuffed blue bear called (very originally) Blue Bear. This is almost exactly how I imagined him looking when he came to life while I slept. 
I had just bought the clock paper, and have had the word stickers for a long time, so the card is a great combination of old and new, digital and not.
I coloured the bear, then painted over him with clear Tim Holtz crackle paint. I did that before I cut out the image – the paper curled, as paper will, but trimming him after seemed to reduce a lot of the curl. So did a good taping down to the card.
These are the colours I used, and a mostly pre-blending photo (I’d already blended the legs when I remembered to take the picture!)
And for the record, here’s a picture of the real Blue Bear, modeling a baby sweater.
