Thank you for your time in putting together this awesome step by step tutorial. I've always been intimidated with the process of coloring stamped images and I refrained from getting the bear collection because I have no idea how to even start to color them. Your tutorial made me think I can do this!

Big congratulations to you!   It feels great to celebrate our Heartfelt Creations crafting community!    I am so grateful for being voted in to be a part of the design team that I just wanted to "pass it on".    Enjoy!   Marie 

And now - for this weeks Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday, I would like to share a mixed media tag I created!
