I have got to, got to find my missing Hero Arts sentiments. I stamped and coloured this image last night for the tea-party, and then my layout didn't work because I couldn't find those stamps. Luckily today's sketch came to the rescue and gave me an alternative layout. My long horizontal strip is all there, though because it's narrow, some of it doesn't show.
A2 base, gingham papers and watercolour paper.
Penny Black images coloured with distress inks (Brushed Corduroy, Frayed Burlap, Old Paper, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Barn Door, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass), all panels cut with Deckle Rectangles. I added two tiny buttons and stitching lines.

I could do teddy bear cards all day. I forgot I had this image, I think my mom stamped me off a couple will have to look it up. It is adorable. Especially with the cute gingham behind it. that worked so well with that sketch today too. I have trouble with the crooked things but it worked well here...right on. Hope you find that other stamp you were looking for too. hugs...TFS

What a simply precious bear image you have chosen for your card and the gingham paper backgrounds work so well for a real comforting feel.
