Well you look absolutely fabulous darling....coffee?

This card I haven't really made for anything in particular which is why I haven't put a sentiment on it yet, might be for a birthday or just to say 'Hi' to a friend or 'Lets get together for coffee' , or even as a mothers day card not yet decided, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out so far.

I decided to do a card specifically for some challenges and this is what I came up with, some times it's just fun to do that and see how things turn out and as a bonus I've even found some extra challenges I can enter it in to too.

The image is a LOTV and coloured with a mix of sakura glaze pens and Promarkers of course(my usual). The flowers are punched from copy paper which I stamped with versamarker and embossed with white and moonglow magic pearls powder then scrunched them a bit and added liquid pearl centres. The base card I used stampman stamps from one of the flower sheets and used versa colour black ink for the dots and versamark and black sparkle embossing powder for the swirls, just enough sparkle.

Not much else to it really.

I would like to enter it into the following challenges:-

Wags and whiskers-punches
Sweet stampin-oh so girly
Allsorts-make your own flowers
Totally gorjuss-black and one other colour-white (please let me off for skin tones as didn't want them to look like ghosts or zombies)
The stampman-swirls and curls
MAWTT-fashion (well I think they are very fashion conscious ladies)
Raise the bar-images with mugs, hope cups count too
LOTV-circles or dots, sorry I've got both
Charisma cardz-black white and one other
Fussy and fancy-embossing and or paper piecing
Scrapbook sisters-lace and pearls
Everybody art challenge-layout
The pixie cottage-sketch and or cute, well I think they look dinky cute
Truly scrumptious-pearls and swirls
Pile it on -childhood dreams(doesn't every little girl want to be more grown up?)
Dream valley challenge-anything goes
One stitch at a time -cards for mom
Robins fetish challenge-punches or dies
Cutie Sunday-favourite colours or stamp, well I do love black and white and turquoise so 2 out of 3 ain't bad and unfortunately I have lots of favourite stamps and this is just one of them.
