First Card and Latest Card

Good morning everyone!  I don't know where the time goes, but can you believe it.....it's already the second of January!  Spring is coming.....though I really can't complain, yesterday we had rain and a high of 9 degrees C, or 48 degrees F.  It seems that everyone else is getting our snow again this year, and that suits me just fine!

Here you see my latest card, which worked up quite quickly and is perfect for a young girl's birthday.  I've coloured the image with a number of different mediums....Copics for the skin, Prismas for the hair and Tombow markers and glitter pen for the flowers.

And here you see my very first card, which I made for my husband a couple of years ago.  These two cards are submissions for the latest challenge at Crafty Cardmakers, definitely something a little different!  Be sure to check it out.

Supplies used on latest card:
Stamps - Flower Child from Digi Stamps for Joy
Paper - Basic Grey (Eskimo Kisses line), cardstock
Tools - MS punches, Nestibilities die
Other - Flowers from Fred She Said, gems

Other challenges that I've entered:

Digital Tuesday Challenge - #91 Anything Goes
Fab & Funky Challenges - #53 Quick and Easy Does It
