Teddy Bear's Picnic

There is a new challenge today at Stamp Fairy Challenge Blog, and the theme to play along with this week is a Teddy Bear's Picnic recipe; a teddy themed project with 3 flowers, 2 ribbons and a sentiment.

I decided to make a shaped card, mainly because I received delivery of my very first Grand Nesties in the post on Saturday morning from the lovely Cindy at Scrapalicious USA, and therefore I wanted to use it straight away!!!

The Grand Nesties are absolutely huge though, and the largest two are even too big for my Big Shot.  I actually used the smallest one to cut the spotty paper (which is actually more yellow than it seems to appear in the piccy) and the next smallest nestie to cut and emboss the shaped base card.  I really like the shape and think I'll be making a few more of these !!!  However, I've got a feeling that the three smallest ones are going to be used loads and the other 3 will stay in the packet, for a while at least!!!  Doh !!!
