Greg is a little bit shy!

Introducing Greg!!!  In this image Greg is a little bit shy, or so he's pretending to be.  Greg will feature in 4 of the new stamps as part of the Novem-bear release at Lili of the Valley.  52 stamps to be exact in this release, all bear themed.  Set your alarm clock for Friday 24th November UK time because if bears had wings I'm sure these will literally fly out of the store.

There are the Alphabet bears that I have been sharing as well as a set of number bears.  Some sentiments that go with these awesome sets and 16 other bear stamps of which Greg will feature in four.  There is a panda a polar bear and even a  koala.  A bear for every occasion.

Today I am sharing Shy Greg and his little bunny friend.  This has to be one of my favourites in the release.  I extended the door and walls up and out with black marker to create my background and take up the whole card.  The wallpaper is created by first colouring the background and then hand drawing the little flower pattern.  The wooden floor was easily achieved with a series of lines to form the floor boards.

The entire image is coloured in pencil and took me several hours to colour and get the shading right to get the dimension I was looking for.  I'm really happy with the end result and can confidently say that practice is paying off.  I could never have achieved this at the beginning of the year when I set the goal to improve my colouring with pencil as I couldn't justify the cost of copics.

Anyway here is Greg.


You will so love this release.
Remembear Friday 24th UK time!!

Bye for now
