A Gold Teddy for a Little Girl

Hi Everyone, and this includes my Mum, my Aunty Margaret and my Aunty Barbara (see you're on t'internet now), back after quite a break. Went on holiday to Spring Harvest (a Christian holiday at Butlins in Skegness) and as we all know when you've been on holiday you need a holiday to get over it. Well I couldn't go on holiday again because then I'd need to go on holiday again and so on, you get the meaning, so I've just been tired out at home, not had time nor the energy to make cards or write on this blog. Anyhoo, back now and yesterday I had a good look round at different challenges and found not one, not two but three that I could use to make the card below for a little girl we know who has a birthday this week. The first challenge was a sketch at Stamps and Smiles - The Fresh Batch (Challenge #13- SASSC13). The second challenge was at Papertake Weekly where you are to include Spots and Strips. Last, but not least was at Cute Card Thursday where the challenge is Mirror Mirror which is to use something shiny.

I was so pleased with how this card turned out, especially when I decided to make the teddy out of gold mirriboard, it really stands out. The papers used are all Papermania Sweet Nothings, including the little girl's dress. The ribbon and the sentiment stamp came free on the front of magazines. I used Anita's Gems to go round the sentiment and in the centre of the Papermania flower to reflect the spots in the background and on the dress. The pretty little girl is again a Sugar Nellie stamp from Funky Kits. She's from the new Gorjuss Girls set which I got on pre-order and will be available as a single girl in a few weeks.

Thanks for taking a look.
