My first challenge...


Hi everybody,
I have finally got something to post and its my first. I hope you like it. It is a friend to friend card and its only the second card that I have done all of the work with the help of a templet. I made this for a Challenge over at Pixie Cottage, my friend Pam said I could do it and I decided to give it a try. I have never done a challenge before, I guess you know that since it is only my second card.

The card was made with paper from Hobby Lobby's Paper studio; the friend to friend stamp came from the $1 basket at Michaels as did the rhinestones. The flowers were punched from a $1 punch that I picked up at Big Lots. (as you can see, I shop lots of places for the supplies). The textures on my papers were made with my brand new Cuttlebug, I love it. and the scalloped circle was made with my new Spellbinders-Nestabilities. This card was a lot of first for me. The Magnolia stamp was left over from a card class that was held at my scrapbooking groups Retreat on the River which was held at the end of August. A fun time was had by all. The coloring was done with my new Copic markers.

Please leave me a comment and let me know how I did.
