Friends Forever

Hi and welcome to day 4 of MFT Teasers.  For my card today, I used the new Jolinne - Friends Forever.  I love the big ol' cuddly teddy bear.  What little girl doesn't love teddy bears?  I know my girls still love them... and have them ALL over their floor closet bed.  LOL

I wanted a "dreamy" look to this image, so I decided to pull out my watercolor brush and paper and color the image with my Peerless Watercolors.  I used lace trim and a rustic Prima flower, both gifts from my friend, Michele.  I used Basic Grey Olivia patterned paper, which was a gift from my friend, Karen.  :) 

I'm normally uptight prim and proper with my machine stitching, but this time I had too much plain pink in the background, so I switched it up by adding some criss-cross crooked stitching.  It's okay to be all crazy with your stitching when you do it on PURPOSE.  LOL 



Here is a peek inside:
