Ready Teddy Go

Hello again

I've spent the afternoon in the company of my favourite teddy, Teddy Bea!

I happened across a new challenge called Ready Teddy Go and for their current challenge there is a fabulous sketch to follow.

Teddy Bea is coloured with coloursoft pencils.The sky was added with Distress Ink on a cotton wool ball.  The die cut shape is a Crafts Too die.  These are excellent value for money.  I go mine from Cupcakecrafting.  I created a faux die from Core'dinations for the image to sit on.

The backing paper  has been in my stash for ages and was from Making Cards magazine.  The pansies are from La Pashe 'The Big One' cd-rom, the Build a Blossom section.  I printed the sheets onto A6 size paper to get the size of pansies I wanted.
