This was the card I made for my friend Lynsey which I gave her yesterday so I can now share it with you. The image is Sugar Nellie and the papers are some of my favourites this year from Papermania. The spots are lovely and sparkly. I have almost used this pack so I was pleased to buy another bigger pack yesterday which was half price. The MS snowflake border punch has been out again. I used some of my favourite raffia lace and some gorgeous ribbon from Papermania. Flowers are Prima with Wild Orchid roses and punched ivy leaves. I added glitter to the fur and then sprayed the image, which was coloured with Promarkers, with Crafter's Companion Spray and Sparkle. Well Lynsey does lover her glitter and sparkle too.Challenges

At Crafty Cardmakers they have a really fun challenge of First and Latest or Greatest. The DT have been very brave in sharing their first creations and here's mine.
It was an anniversary card for my Hubby and he thought it was wonderful that I had made his card. I'm so glad we kept it as it is so interesting to see how I have progressed. As a first attempt, having no idea what I was doing, it is better than some I then went on to make with the dreaded peel offs. Thank goodness I discovered stamping and blogging. I hope you join in as it is so much fun to see our first efforts.Lucky me, I won Paperplay's challenge and will be receiving a gift voucher for Simon Says.

Such a gorgeous card, I love the ribbon and lace and what a beautifully coloured image. How brave of you to show an original creation, I don't think I'd have the guts, mine were horrendous (but thankfully unphotographed!) Thanks for joining us at Crafty Sentiments :)
Bet Lynsey loves her card - it's fabulous. And love your Anniversary card too. Funny you mentioning peel-offs. I think we all used them at some time or another. Thanks for joining in the fun at Crafty Cardmakers this week. xx
I have to agree the ribbon is beautiful however the sentiment circle is stunning
and wow how brave, I don't think I would dare to post my first ever creation, and love what you did too
Hugs Kate xx

Beautiful card, love the image and papers you've used! My first card was so simple compared to what I do now...it was just a simple decoupage topper stuck on a square card lol. Thanks for joining us at Pear Tree Designs this week and Merry Christmas xx

A beautiful creation, thank you for playing the Mega Christmas Challenge at Passion for Promarkers and Good Luck!
Also thank you for being brave and showing your first for Crafty Cardmakers! I'm sure I had that backing paper too!
I think you first card is really charming. You are very brave cutting hearts by hand and actually making them look like hearts. As for the dreaded peel off. Yep we all went down that route. Your latest card is quite the stunner.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thanks for joining our First and Last Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Hope to see you back next year.
