{SS} #175: Summer

Morning sweeties!
Happy Summer!!!
Today at SweetStamps, our theme this week is:
SUMMER
I am using the new and adorable Suntan Bear stamp set. I am really loving these new cuties!!!  I did some fun paper piecing and fussy cutting.  Love the bright and summer colors, which are from Echo Park: Summer Days.  Very appropriate, don't ya think!!  :) 
Colored the image with Copic makers, which I am still learning how to use them.  I've had them for awhile, but I am learning to do coloring outside of my comfort zone.  Trying new techniques.  My little bear was colored using small flicking strokes.  It's taking a lot of practice, but I think I am getting the hang of it ok.   Love the fuzzy look! :)
