A new card from me at last!


Happy New Year Everyone - all the best for 2011!

Finally I have managed to make a card for some challenges - it seems like ages since I made a card. I don't really "do" new year celebrations so I had a lovely quiet New Year's Eve at home,  making a couple of cards and having a play with some of my new craft stuff.  I won a voucher from One Stop Card Crafts in a recent challenge and placed my order a few days ago.  The parcel of goodies arrived yesterday and it was just waht I needed to give me a bit of inspiration again!

I think that I am totally done with red and green and Christmas for quite a while now so I wanted to make something completely different.  Yellow is not really a colour I go for but I am really pleased with how this card has turned out.   I've used my favourite Tilda with Curls stamp and coloured her with pro markers.  I have used some of my new Diamond Stickles to add a bit of sparkle to the distressed edges and the border punch is from Martha Stewart.



I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - I used their sketch
Just Magnolia - Anything Goes
Cutie Stampers - Lucky Charm
Incy Wincy Designs - Distressing
Cards and More - Distressed
I love pro markers - Anything goes
Passion for Pro markers - Anything goes
Crafty Emma's - Anything goes

Thanks for looking!

Amanda
