Just Cute Bears Challenge - One for the Girls

Its the first week of our new challenge blog, and we have a fabulous sponsor ... Cuddly Buddly Crafts.
They are offering this gorgeous stamp as this week's prize.


And there is a fabulous DT ... so please do take a look at their bear creations.

Now I have to confess to not being a huge fan of Forever Friends stamps ... always worried I won't colour them in well, and the sticker and decoupage sets are great to use. But ... I was given some FF stamps for Christmas, so I have inked this little one up, and after taking a few deep breathes coloured it in!
I am quite pleased with the colouring ... might spur me on to stamp the others up!! I inked the edges and matted the image onto green cardstock. A simple layout and some gorgeous raffia and gingham , and some flowers ... very pink for me I have to confess!!! Maybe 2010 will be the year I get to like pink!!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Forever Friends
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Oh Baby Girl
Embellishments: raffia, ribbon and flowers from stash
