Firstly the advance notice..... Next month is my first Blogaversary! As a celebration, I'm going to be putting together a little candy :-) Oooooh! I'm so excited. I've not done this before so I'll be putting a little bit more thought into it before I post about it but watch this space.....!
This card is for a friend of mine who had just had a tiny, little baby girl. And I do mean tiny, little! Born a little earlier than expected and weighing only 4lb 5oz, but doing very well :-) I won this goooorgeous image from Sugar Nellie a while back and I've been dying for a reason to use it! I coloured her with my promarkers and added a little holographic embossing powder for sparkle. The paper is Forever Friends "Hugs and Cuddles" and I've used a new embossing folder I just got on the front of the latest Docrafts mag. The pink thread is from my stash - had it for yeeeears, but all gone now :-( Then I added a swirl which is Sizzix decorative swirl #4 cut on my Bigshot with a little detail using a white gel pen and some pearls from ebay. I decided to make a matching candle gift to go with it and added a little scrap of ribbon around the bottom to finish it off.
Sorry one of the pictures is sideways but they took aaaaages to upload so I wasn't about to delete them and start again!
