Here is my card I made for this New Beginning Blog Hop


The paper I used is from a pad "Pampered Pets" by Andrea Jayne.
The frame was cut with a Nellie Snellen MFD and the leaves are a Marianne Design die.
The corners were punched with a butterfly punch.
The image is  coloured with Aquarelle pencils and Twinkling H20's, cut out and mounted on foam pads.
All the esges were inked with Distress inkpads.
The sentiment was computer generated and I finished off the card with pearls.

This time I also decorated the inside of the card, using papers from the same pad, and the same dies  and punches.
      The prize I am offering to one lucky visitor, is a $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE from 
GUYLOU'S INIMITABILITY digital store.
Here you can choose some fantastic images to download. I invite you to have a look at the awesome designs that Guylou has on offer.....so please be sure to leave  a comment here on my blog!!!
