Welcome to another Teddy Bo Tuesday and we have a new challenge for you today as well as 2 new stamps that you can find in store - HERE 

Now we're trying to sort out the winner from the last challenge so we will be back to let you know who the lucky 3 are later in the week. But before I go any further please can we thank all the fantastic entries and Team B for hosting.


But now onto this weeks challenge and its a fa-BO-laus one 

Black, White and one other Colour

Here's Team A's cards to get your creative juices flowing and hopefully you will join in the fun going on in the Towers this time :0)   

Before you take a look at the gorgeous cards the DT have made, we would like to wish Kirsty-Anne and Liz a fond fairwell as they are both leaving the Towers, we will really miss them both and wish them all the best for the future. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, as I am on my holidays at the moment, my card uses one of last weeks releases and doesn't follow the challenge, but I thought you might like to see it anyway.

All papers, flowers, ballet shoes - Tippytoes - Nitwits Collection
Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Ribbons, Pearls, Gems and charm - Meiflower


Here's a view from the side showing the ballet shoes dangling from the arch.

I re-sized the arch and Bea and used the same kit as above to make a simpler square card too.
All details are the same as the pop out box.

I used my clear polymer stamp set to create my card - but you can also use the wonderful digis in store too, to create the same stamp set - the two characters you will need are TeddyBea_004 (Can You See Me)  and TeddyBo_009 (Can You See Me Too)

I printed on to Neenah Crest Solar White and matted with Cor-Dinations Nostalgia Black Card stock (both from Crafter's Companion.)
My base card is my own design and is available in both SVG and STUDIO file format - available from here.

I brought my image to life with my Copics (full details on my blog - just click on my name above.)
Poem inside is my own creation but feel free to use it if you wish.. please just give all credit back to me.

The wonderful ribbons I have used are from Crafty Ribbons.com

My stamped image I gently curved first with my embossing tool in the palm of my hand, before sticking down with 3D collal glue - to add a more 3D effect to my card.
 Hugs & HaPPy Crafting!
