A New Beginning .....

Hey Everyone

This is it - my very first post - ultra scary!

  
I made this card for a very good friend of mine who has been trying for a baby for such a long time and has now given birth to a beautiful baby girl - well done Dawn, Matylda is just gorgeous just like her Mummy.

I have used one of Mo Manning's absolutely awesome stamps (just lover her images and they are so easy to colour) and coloured it with Copics.  The papers are by First Edition "Love Letters" - how delish this pad is - and all the pearls, charm and rhinestone spacers are from the Hobby House.




The flowers have been made using the large, medium and small retro punches (Hobby House) and the top edges of the flowers have been cut in a random way to add a slightly different shape.

The Copic colours I have used are as follows:

Skin:  E000 / E00 / E21 / R20
Hair:  C5 / C7 / C9
Top:  R81 / R83 / R85
Skirt:  R39 / R59 / R89

I'm going to enter my very first challenges with the first one at Stampin' for the Weekend where the title is "My Favourite Things" - there are lots and lots of my favourite things on this card - the paper, rhinestone spacers, flowers, one of Mo Manning's fab stamps, Copics and adhesive pearls - the list goes on.  Wish me luck!

The second challenge I am entering is the Totally Papercrafts challenge where you get to play bingo.  You can choose any line and I have gone for the diagonal and choosen "Punch / Die Cuts - Flowers - Gems - what a great idea for a challenge.

The third challenge is the Stamp Something challenge and this week is it to break out the digi stamps which is just perfect as Mo Manning has some of my very favourite digital images.

Challenge number four (phew) - is from the super Fairy Fun Fridays where this weeks challenge is pearls and swirls.  Whilst there is only one swirl on my card there are plenty and plenty of pearls.

Lastly, but by no means least - challenge number five; this is from the Delicious Doodles challenge where this week they are looking for flourishes and bling.  Again, only a small flourish in the corner, but the bling in the rhinestone spacers add such a sparkle to your card.  The First Edition background paper is absolutely covered in glitter its just my poor photography skills that stop it from showing up.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look and I would love to know what you think about my card.

Have a fab weekend.

Ta-Ra for now.
