Tiny Tatty Teddy

I picked this stamp up at the SECC in October of next to nothing but hadn't got round to inking it up ... until now. It's from Trimcraft's Tiny Tatty Teddy range and I've coloured it with my Promarkers and added a sentiment to the banner with a Papermania stamp.

The patterned papers are from two different First Edition pads, Blank Canvas and Sweet Escapes, to which I've added apricot card for matting.
The doily was cut from grey pearl card using an Xcut die, I layered a die cut circle over the top of it then added the fussy cut topper on top of that.
To embellish I added, some grey satin ribbon with a matching button topped bow, a couple of apricot pearls and some flowers and foliage made with Spellbinders dies.

Tatty Teddy Easter Card

I unearthed this old Tatty Teddy wood mounted rubber stamp recently, it's been in my stash for years, and decided that it would be perfect as the focal point on an Easter card, so I inked it up in London Fog Memento and got colouring with my Promarkers. I used my Xcut egg shaped nesting dies to cut out the topper and it's mat.

The gorgeous papers are First Edition, Sweet Escapes, some of which are foiled or glittered, the rest are double sided, all are beautiful! I inked all the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink for definition.
To embellish, I added some lilac lace, lilac ribbon with a matching multi loop bow which I topped with a Hobby House dazzler, a sentiment stamped with a stamp from a Hobby Craft Easter stamp set, some lilac gems, and some flowers made with a selection of Sue Wilson and Heartfelt Creations dies, along with a Woodware punch for the foliage.
