Teddy with Gerbera

It's official:  I adore these Maja Design papers.

I've used some of the soft pink papers from my Vintage Summer Basics Paper Pad and used the same shades of pink in my image.

I decided to stitch the panels, (note to self - think twice about cutting a circle shape if you're going to stitch them) and added some white pearls and a couple of white floral die cuts.  I also used some of the backing papers as the solid piece behind my Arianna Sprig die to make it stand out against the white background.

Absolutely beautiful, Annette! That image is adorable, with amazing colouring...and...wow, if you think there is anything wrong with the circle stitching, I can't image what perfect looks like!!

Hugs,
Jennifer. x
