New Beginnings


Hello everyone, happy New Year to you all.
I found a little extra time to have a play, I love House Mouse and they have there new challenge, with the theme "NEW", so I had to join in, I love this image and decided to do a wedding card.
I've used some embossing folders on this, three to be exact, love this technique its ideal for giving texture to flowers and leaves too. It helped me with the challenge over at Die Cut Dreams too, as there challenge is White On White, and I found it hard to do but then when I got to grips with it, found that embossing folders made all the difference.

I hope you all have a nice relaxing day, my eldest two children go back to school today but my youngest goes back tomorrow. So me and him are having a bit of quality time together, he's started to make cards and uses anything he can get his hands on. Don't want to ruin his creative flare but I will have to lay down some restrictions as he's quite drawn to all the best stuff LOL!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:-
1. House Mouse - Challenge # 110 - New
2. By The Cute & Girly - New Beginnings
3. Bling It On - New Beginnings
4. Allsorts - New Beginnings
5, Joanna Sheen - Celebrations



Recipe:-
Stamps - House Mouse Lovely Confetti HMJR1063,
Papers - Forever Friends,
Colouring Medium - Promarkers,
Tools - Embossing Folders, Cuttlebug, CC Designs Dies, Border punch, nesties,
Embellishments - ribbon, gems,


Thanks for popping by.
Happy crafting

What gorgeous hues of lilac Tracy, perfectly complimented by that cute HM image.

Bobby sounds like he might be a chip off the old block - restrictions and restraint permitting.
