Adorable Grace Just For You Card

Morning All

We are supposed to be having the hottest day of the year so far here in Bedfordshire today.  It started off quite grey and cloudy but the sun is now breaking through so hope it warms up nicely later so I can do a spot of gardening.

This is a card I have made using the fab sketch at the Sugar Bowl.  They also have the option of pink.  Well I made this card last night using my new Papermania Boysenberry papers.   It was meant to be pick but the paper I choose seems to be more purple in the daylight and then I took my image upstairs to colour and also coloured her purple! before remembering she was meant to be pink!

For my card I have used:

Sugar Nellie Grace coloured with Promarkers
Papermania Boysenberry paper
MS doily lace punch, 2 butterfly punches and frond punch
Rest from stash

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Sugar Bowl - sketch
Papertake - anything goes plus something new - papers and image
Stamp Something - Use a digi
A spoonful of Sugar - texture - doily, flowers, bow
Creative Inspirations - punches and dies
Paper Sundaes - Spring Blossoms
Dream Valley - things with wings

Hopefully will be enjoying some lovely warm sunny weather this afternoon.
