This page is for the photograph of a little boy,
so the bow was cut from the top of the bear's head and placed
under the chin as a bow tie. Lightly chalk raised areas if desired.
Note: Two stylus
are provided with the Scrapboss. For a deeper emboss, emboss design
with the large end first then re-emboss with a smaller tip. |
