Dream Valley Challenge #2

Our 2nd challenge at Dream Valley is New Beginnings .... new baby, new house, new anything .... its your choice! Upload your card HERE before our next challenge in a fortnight's time on 20 March ... and check out the fab cards from the rest of the DT while you're there!
(We have 2 fab sponsors this time One Stop Card Crafts and Crafty Ribbons)

My card uses a wee High Hopes image - coloured with promarkers, popped up on dimensionals and their little shirts are paper pieced. Sentiment from Simon Says and papers from Dovecraft

Other challenges:
  • Sketch from Friday Sketchers #144
  • Fussy and Fancy - embossing and/or paper piecing
  • Polka Doodles #9 - use at least 3 flowers
  • Simon Says Stamp ... recipe - 1 image, 2 patterned DPs, 3 different embellies (I used flowers, butterflies and bling)
  • Top Tip Tuesday - use your favourites (I used my favourite brand of stamp... High Hopes!) And my Top Tip this week is to add stickles to your cut ribbon edges and that will stop it fraying and add a bit of sparkle too!
