My DD will be turning 7 very soon and this is the card I made for her birthday. Her favourite colour is pink and she loves cats, flowers, butterflies and glitter, so this is what I came up with. The Lili of the Valley image of 'Thomas - big bunch of Flowers' was the perfect choice. And of course, I had to colour Thomas in the same colours as our own cat Ruby. I have a photo of Ruby on my Blog if you want to see how cute she is!
I am also popping this card into the SCS Ways to Use it Challenge WT275 of Raving on Ribbon: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I have never used 2 ribbons on a card before and never threaded one through my image panel and thought I would give it a whirl.
The image was coloured with Prismas and Gamsol. I added Art Institute very fine transparent pale lemon/pale pink glitter - Shabby Chic collection to all the flowers plus the punched butterfly, as well as the cat's ears and cheeks. This is the first time I have used my Octagonal Nesties - aren't they cool?! The lacey corners are a Cuttlebug diecut from the Vintage Die set; it's actually a square die but I just tucked them under the octagon - it's like they were made for each other :-)
All the panels are up on mounts (dimensionals). I added some wide pink lacey ribbon across the bottom panel (can you see it?) and added the darker pink cotton lace over the top. The hole for threading thru the darker pink lace on the main panel was made with a Stampin' Up horizontal punch and the lace bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.

Hi,
Just wanted to tell you that I loved your card. Thanks for sharing. I also like teddy,s. I use my prisma colour pencils with baby oil, I cannot buy in Bali Gamsol. I works very good and also it has a nice smell.

This card is so cute! I love it! My DD is 8 and I know she would love it too! (she's in bed right now or I'd be calling her to the computer to look at it)
