Anyway, when this bear was first released by cc Designs, I have to admit the first thing I thought was, "he's really cute, but that's a lot of coloring I'd have to do." So I didn't buy it. But recently, I learned how to color an image with Distress Inks and a blending tool. That's when I bought this stamp and can now color him quickly. I love the effect this technique gives to the image and of course, I love how fast it can be done. I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink here to make him a brown bear, but I've also tried using Antique Linen and it makes a really cute dirty polar bear (since polar bears aren't really pure white, right?).
