A Gem of a Challenge...

What a beautiful day here,sun is shining,washing out on the line what could be better....Today see's a new challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge,my lovely team mate Lisa is hosting and has chosen....

GINGHAM OR CHECKS.....

For my card I've used one of the new background papers,so much easier than doing your own clouds,and then used the PNG Baby Bundle image on top so I could colour it myself both from Pink Gem Designs....

If you would like to know how to add your image onto a background paper then my other team mate Ria has done a fabulous tutorial over at Gems of Inspiration showing you how to do it...I've coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers....

There is a sprinkling of glitter on the baby hat and on the stars...The spotty paper is an off cut from my scraps box so no name sorry,the glitter gingham card is from Kanban and I've used a Die-namics dainty lace border die to cut the borders down the side out in Kraft...I've cut my image and the mat out with my nesties...The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and the sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs....The pearls and the bling centre on the bow are from my stash...

And a little peek at the inside decorated to compliment the front...

I would like to enter the following challenges...

Hope you all have a lovely weekend,and don't forget to checkout the challenge we would love you to join in with us...
