I had lots of fun Friday afternoon playing in the Splitcoaststampers Free For All Challenge. The challenge was to use a set that hadn’t been used in a long while. I was inspired to create a fun garden card using the retired Stampin’ Up! set called Favorite Teddy Bear.
I stamped the images on watercolor paper, painted and cut out. I created a little sponged in ground and sky on a piece of white cardstock and then added the punched foliage on both sides of the garden path using Glossy Accents. Using a 3/8” hand held flower punch I punched out a ton of little red and white flowers and then formed them using a stylus and a mouse pad. I attached the bear and wagon over the foliage, added extra foliage to the wagon and then arranged the flowers all around on both sides of the path and the foliage in the wagon.
Here’s a little closer view. You can click on the photos to see them a little larger.
Check out my punched flower tutorials if you would like to know how I made these little flowers.
I hope you have a wonderful and restful weekend.
