Meljen’s Designs–Best Dad

Hello! Thursday has once again rolled around and it is time for the new Meljen’s Designs challenge and new digi release. Our new challenge this week is “Kraft plus ONE color” (the image maybe colored).

I made a Father’s Day card using one of the digital images being released today, Papa Bear. I think I might have bent the rules of the challenge because my DP has white on it, which is another color. But, you know me, I’m always the rebel…

Also being the rebel (insert evil laugh here), I cropped out one of the little bears from the image. Since my husband and I only have one child, I wanted the image to reflect that. (You can see the sneak peek of the “as is” Papa Bear image and the other new releases below.) Melissa did a great job designing this image. The one “child” bear can be merged and multiplied to reflect different family sizes. Isn’t that cool? Check out this sample she did.

Here is a peek at all the new images being release by Meljen’s Designs on Whimsy Stamps today.

Before I wrap up my post, I wanted to let you know that Whimsy Stamps will be holding a blog hop on June 1 to show off the new digital images for the month of June. There are new images from Meljen’s Designs, Crissy Armstrong, Moon Cookie Gallery, and a new digital artist. Stop by the Whimsy Inspiration blog on June 1st to get the blog hop line up.

Thank you for stopping by!
