At Last A Card .......

It does seem like ages since I made a card for some challenge's, I have been busy finishing a couple of DT creations but not a lot else???  I think I just lost my mojo for a little while, but I have not lost the ability to shop, I have bought a few gorgeous new stamps that are waiting patiently to inked!!!

This is my new Greeting Farm stamp, meet "Ruby" she is just soooo cute!! I love the expressions that are captured in these stamps.

I have made this card for the following challenges;

Anyone for Anya, "heart 4 heart's sake".

The Pink Elephant challenge 51 "polka dots, a bow and pink".

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 3, "hearts".

Papertake Weekly sketch 33,  I have used the nice and simple sketch, my favourite kind. 

Saturday Callenge 67, Donna's colour challenge

                                                                                 

                                           

I have couloured Ruby with promarkers, stickles stardust, glossy accents, DCWV c/s, BG Eva, MS heart punch, ribbon, flat backed pearls, nesties, swiss dots embossing folder.   I have used a scrap of card under the punched heart and used glossy accents between the latice.

At lat I have got this posted I have struggled all afrternoon to try and get my computer to pick up the SD card so I could up-load my pictures from the camera????  Arrrgh!!!  I will be back later with my card for the new challenge at Just Bears.  Thanks for stopping by I love to know what you think about my cards, so please leave a comment then I can return your visit.
