Time Out #140 - Home Sweet Home Challenge

Hi friends!  We have a new challenge at Time Out.  It's our Home Sweet Home challenge.  Use the photo to inspire your creation.
 
We are sponsored by Topflight Stamps and I used this cute Baby Bear & Friends stamp set.  I needed a new baby boy card, so this stamp set was perfect!  I was a little stumped trying to use the inspiration photo with this set, but then settled on the wood from the steering wheel (I looked up the proper name and it's the helm...who knew?) and the blue from the one candle.  I found pattern paper in similar wood for my background.  This was die cut with a stitched rectangle.  Then I stamped the bear and masked it so I could have him laying on the tree stump.  I colored him blue and the stump brown with copic markers.  The hearts have shimmer and glossy accents on them as does the bear's nose.  When I die cut the bear, I left it in the die and sponged some antique linen around it so it left a white margin around the stitched area.  I die cut another blue mat and mounted them together.  This was mounted on craft foam for some dimension.  The sentiment was die cut four times and stacked.  I added shimmer on this as well.
 
I used this sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch too!
 
You can see more inspiration from the Time Out design team on the Time Out blog.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh I so missed that blue candle-good spot! And well done for having such creativity to use the set around the photo-the woodgrain paper was the perfect find. And 'helm'-now we know!
