This is for two challenges. F4A68 and QFTD64. Teh QFTD challenge is to honor Our Queen for this week is Shadow's Mom aka Lee-Anne. Congratulations, Lee-Anne! I had lots of fun browsing your gallery. The F4A challenge was to give our tired and poor and use a stamp set that we just had to have and have never used or one that has been sitting a long time. I pulled out a set that I purchased in 2006 and I just had to have it. I made a few cards with it but none since 2008. I was inspired by the little mouse and big flowers in Lee-Anne's darling Bouquet of Good Wishes. Bouquet of Good Wishes by Shadow's Mom at Splitcoaststampers I kept Lee-Anne's basic layout but changed up the color combination. I kep the sweet animal theme but changed my image to the teddy bear pulling his wagon full of flowers along the flowery path.
I stamped the images on watercolor paper, painted and cut out. I created the little garden path with sponges and then layered the punched foliage over top adhering with Glossy Accents. I added extra foliage into the wagon area. I created tons of little red and white hand held punched flowers and attached them in the wagon and all along the path. There is a blue sky in the background but it really doesn't show very well in the photo. I didn't add a sentiment for now as I thought I would do that for the occasion that I use this card.

Love the depth and texture of your adorable scene, Kittie. I have always loved this bear but I had the similar one that was sitting and had all of the accessories. Wish that I had bought this one instead. A classic beauty!
