The image is coloured with Promarkers (PM) and Copics (C)

Bears - Putty (C), Pastel beige, satin (PMs)

Dad's scarf - Burnt Sienna, Walnut, Umber (PMs)

Baby bears hat and scarf - Burgundy, Berry Red, Poppy Red (PMs)

The texture on the teddy bears is achieved by dotting some drops of blending solution onto a piece of cheesecloth (you could use gauze) and dabbing it over the sections you want to look 'furry'. I usually do this after colouring in teddies or dogs etc and before I add the other colours. Allow the blending solution to dry thoroughly before you continue colouring. :)

I hope you enjoy today's card as much as I enjoyed making it.
