{Simon Hurley create} Happy Birthday to the Bestest Person Ever!

The big bears are my favourite part of Bestest Friends but the little secondary sentiments are pretty awesome, too. I love that the phrases are unique, unexpected and funny. I used two of the same bear but there’s another bear with one of his arms outstretched and he could be hugging this particular bear or giving any number of items to one of the other characters in the set.

Once again, I used all 12 ink pads from the Simon Hurley create line to watercolour the images, stamp the floor and blend the background. To create the floor, I used masking paper to mask off the wall and half the floor so I could angle the Splinter background stamp and create a simple chevron pattern.

I was so excited that I thought about making a rug with the trampoline because it shows even more versatility, especially since my son used it as a portal/vacuum. I originally stamped it with Clear Skies but it was too dark so I second-generation stamped it and sponged around the edges with the same colour.

My husband thought this card was quite funny because it literally represents our son’s alternate universe where stuffies rule the world and we’re their toys. LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by!
