You know those studies that talk about how reading and writing on paper improve your retention of what you are reading or writing?

You know how I know this is true?

I don't remember what I had for lunch today, but I VIVIDLY remember certain days reading Winnie The Pooh, The Silver Nutmeg, our Peanuts books, Little House on the Prairie, and yes, Helter Skelter. 

There's something about holding a book in your hand and shutting out all else. 

I read the Pooh Bear books MANY times over. I loved them so much. Like Nancy Drew and Alice and The Hobbit, I loved the in-book illustrations so much. These books are the perfect bridge between your left and right brains. 

There are a lot of different ways to do fur textures, and I have many lives and videos on this process, but today's video is new. I wanted to recreate that sort of matted texture stuffed animals get - you know what I'm talking about. 

I used the same Pooh Bear stamp for both cards, but did two different backgrounds. This first one - I used this grid tape and ink blendedn aqua ink. The second one will be a video soon. I colored both with OLO Markers. I hand cut the images out because they were such simple shapes. When I do this I always color the edges black - it makes a big difference when you are looking at the card up close.

The second bear I did in a similar way, but I did some blending - you can do as much or as little as you like. The background will be in an upcoming video. The sentiment is from this set.

Here's the video:

Hope you have a great weekend! Loveyameanitbye.
