Too excited by Stamptacular to do Teddy Bo Justice!

I have been invited to be a DT member for Stamptacular from April and I got so over-excited by the news that I made a complete mess of the card I was trying to make and photographed it badly to boot.  I do hope the rest of my team don't stop by to see it or they might vote me off!

My dear blogging buddy Janiel made a super card recently (all of her cards are always super of course) in which she framed Tilda on an easel card so that she popped up (Tilda that is - not Janiel) for display.  It was lovely and inspired me to work on something similar.   So using Bo and Bea from my newly acquired Teddy Bo collection, I thought they would look good hanging from a heart frame for this 1st Anniversary Card.  It was a good idea but I did not execute it well.  I spent a lot of time colouring my bears with Copics and Promarkers and I was pleased with the result but I put them on the card too close together so my heart had to be quite thin and it would have looked so much better with a more sturdy heart.    Also, I should have put more effort into decorating the front panel of my card because the bears looked lonely stuck in the middle of the Papermania DP and now they still look lonely but are boxed in between two strips of  DCWV DP.  There is more DCWV paper on the base, together with some Craftworks card candy and a Sentiment by Hero Arts.

I do love the images.  Teddy Bea has shiny boots (which are not visible sadly) but I'm not really happy with the card so I'm only taking a picture of it open (it's not crooked IRL) and a close up of the Teddies.  To top off my troubles I think I might also be too late to enter it into the Teddy Bo challenge who wanted to see "duck-egg blue and brown".
