This week over at TMITA the challenge was to use any of the previous free images or the one posted which was a past free image or one from my new store Paper Cupcakes. All of the designers got to pick whichever image they wanted to work with from the store. I went with the image "Beary Nice Dance" . I made this image while on vacation in Tenn. and thought it would be fun for this challenge. Since we were suppose to incorporate something found in a New Years celebration or something that sparkled, I chose to place fireworks going off in the background. I used glue on a stamp with glitter. I have never really done that before and not sure if I like it more them embossing it... but it worked and looks great behind the dancing bears, but I truly love heat embossing. I chose to place the fireworks on black so it seemed more like evening and so they would pop. I colored my bears with my Bic Mark-its and cut them out and placed them on pop-up dots. I punched my little flowers and added some rhinestones to the middle. I also added a lovely green ribbon with a sparkle and gold trim. The sentiment is computer generated. I really liked how this turned out. I think this card has a happy feel to it and I can just imagine these two bears dancing at midnight in the deep dark forest under the fireworks having a delightful dance of romance!
So, have a "beary" nice day and have a safe and Happy New Year!

You are amazing, dear friend! I love your image, your coloring and layout, and that sentiment is absolutely perfect for your card!!! Great job, my friend! (I guess I'm leaving my GDT spot with a sheepish giggle - somehow I missed the whole "New Year's and sparkle" thing, didn't I??? Sigh...sorry!!! Loved my time with TMITA - thanks for having me!
I absolutely love this one!!! Your fireworks are awesome and a perfect backdrop for your dancing bears! What a way to ring in the New Year!
