Good Evening Ladies, I dont know about you but its still quite cold outside so whether that means we are in for some more cold weather I just sincerely hope not. We went swimming today and the water was cold and so you have to keep going to keep warm I gather it was just off 29 degrees I do hope its a bit warmer than that next time we go. Anyway todays card is for two challenges firstly Penny Black Saturdays "New Beginings" and Penny Black at Allsorts "All you need is Love" and Ive used this sweet hedgehog image for my card and a Stampin-up one for the sentiment.
The image was stamped onto white card then coloured with my copic pens, afterwards I cut it out with my rotatrim and mounted it onto pink pearlscent card, and Ive done the same with the sentiment to. The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of pink card and three papers from Raspberry Road Downloads, this one is called "Vintage Baby" and the first paper is a pretty rose and rattle design on white background.
Ive then used a strip one and a new border punch from Martha Stewart called Cherish, on top of this is another mount of a plaid design.
I then wrapped a pink satin ribbon around the card towards the bottom, and then stuck my mounted image on top and the sentiment underneath. To finish of Ive used a daisy and some punched out leaves and stuck it to the top on the left hand side, and I put some yellow stickles in the middle. I then created a ribbon bow and stuck it on top of the ribbon.
This card is to be entered into the following Challenges:-
