A New Baby Girl

The current challenge over at CD Sunday is 'Something New'.  A relative of mine had a new baby recently and this is the card I have made for her:

The decoupage image and co-ordinating papers are all from the Popcorn Kids cd-rom from Crafters Companion.

I embossed some gold card using a Crafters Companion embossing folders and used this for all my matting.

I stamped and embossed the name and sentiment using versafine ink and then gold detail embossing powder.  I used the tonic tag dies that came free recently in Die-cutting essentials magazine (it's a fab set of dies that I can see I will get lots of use from).

I used pink ribbon from Create and Craft and pink pearls from Joanna Sheen.

I would also like to enter my card in the current Win & Tonic challenge - Take Your Pick - I went with the tag option.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Christmas In Moonbeam Meadow

Happy New Year to all my visitors.  I hope it is a good one for you all.

My card for today is the first I have created ready for Christmas 2017!  It uses the gorgeous Moonbeam Meadow cd-rom from Crafters Companion:

The toppers, backing papers and bow are all printed from the cd-rom.  I used holographic silver mirror card for my mats and for the beautiful snowflake which was cut using a spellbinders die.  The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
