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.

Card
For my card I decided to concentrate on 'leaves' using a Stampin 'Up set of stamps. I have stamped the background using various Autumn shades of dye ink, working from light to dark and overlapping the images. I have then stamped leaves and flowers onto co-ordinated Bazill card stock, cutting them out and mounting 3D.

Gothic Arch
I inked my arch with various Distress Inks, then stamped and embossed a large tree. I stamped leaves round the edges and water coloured them with Distress Inks and stamped a phrase which I embossed and edged with Copper Krylon and also the edge of the arch too.
~~~~~~~~~

Fatbook Page (4x4)
I coloured Tilda, the tree stump and leaves with Pro Markers and m atted these onto Papermania papers to create my Fat Page.
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I stamped the leaves with vintage sepia versafine and then stamped the tw ig tree one of Linda Luckin's designs with the same ink pad. I distressed the edges of the tree paper and inked them. I then added ribbon an d a word tag.
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I used the threading water punch on the top and bottom edge of the striped paper and mounted this onto the white base card. I cut a strip of co-ordinating paper and placed this across the centre. I cut a scalloped circle of text paper, then cut out the round snowflakes from some patterned paper and glued to the base. Using the Cuttlebug cut and emboss trees I cut out three trees in co-ordinatin g cardstock, embossed them, sanded them and placed them onto the scalloped circle.
