Fun Flock Bears! 
By Diane Zyla

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t very fuzzy was he?! That is until I got
in the
bear mood 
and applied flocking to some of our bear images. These two little bears from our digi stamp Bear Collection are adorable
“flocked”
and would be
fun to use on “Thinking of You”
 
, “Get Well” or “I Love You” cards (to name a few).
 Fun Flock by Stampendous is simple to use and will adhere to any sticky surface. It can be used with glue pads, heat and stickyproducts, even mixed with embossing powders! The very fine soft fiber powder is easy to use and comes as single colors or insets. I love cards that make you want to touch & feel it or have dimensionally applied images. They seem to just pop-out at you!
Process in creating with flock.
The way I like to do my flocked images, after the printed image has dried thoroughly, color in the area that you are going toflock. Use a pencil color that is similar to your flock color or one that is a bit darker to deepen the color of the flock. If you justapply the flock to a white cardstock image, the white tends to show through. Your glue will only absorb so much of the flock material! Also color in any decorative areas of the image. Should you accidentally get glue in those areas the glue prevents you
from coloring them later on. It’s also important, if you intend to
cut-out your image, to do so before applying the flock otherwiseit tends to wear down with a lot of handling.The flocking can be applied to any glue, but, my favorite glue thing, which can sometimes be tedious to use because of its finetip, is the Quickie Glue pen by Sakura which gives great flocking results. I work 
small areas at a time and the “blue” let’s
me
know where it’s applied heavily enough before dumping a dab of flock onto it. Also, you can get into those hard to reach
areas with this pen. Just dot around the area until you have a build up of glue, swirl it around and apply a dab of flock. Then doanother section until the entire area is flocked!
I start out with no more than a tablespoon of flock and you’ll be surprised how far it goes.
Pat it down gently to the glue area,wait a few seconds, and tap it off either onto another piece of paper or into a small bowl to re-use. The Ouickie Glue dries clearallowing your pencil color to come through beautifully! I have used a thin coat of 
Aleene’s Tacky Glue, but, it gives more of a
white und
erneath finish to the flock and your penciled color doesn’t come through as nicely.
