Card
I coloured my teddies with Pro Markers and matted them onto Basic Grey paper, I added an Elzybells sentiment, some craft wire, flowers and brads.

Card
I started by using dabbers on a piece of mountboard then I went round the edges with silver krylon though it doesn't show up very well. Then I stamped Linda Luckin's gorgeous teddy - my favourite stamp of all time. I then stamped the words with a versafine ink pad and rubbed around the edges with black. The edge of the dotty paper was punched with my stampin' up punch. I finished it off with bits and pieces I found lying around on my craft table!

Card
I made a DL card base and covered it with green paper. I stamped a swirl in green ink to the top left corner and glued 'on MUM' chipboard letters. On separate card I stamped and coloured a Forever Friends teddy, cut him out and attached him to the base with silicone glue.

Canvas
I covered the canvas in Vintage Photo Distress ink and some Copper dabber. I stamped my House Mouse image on a piece of card and watercoloured it in, then added it to the canvas with a phrase stamped image too. Finally I added some Primas and Stickled the centres and areas of the canvas too.

Card
For my card I have use one of the first stamps I bought many moons ago - an Anita's Teddy stamp. I have coloured him with water colours andadded a gold satin ribbon bow. He is mounted 3D over a layered background of Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing. The bottom of the card
has a greeting stamped in the center and I have added some embossed lines to finish it off. Embellished with gold brads.
