Ten tiny fingers ...

Welcome to our first challenge in 2013 at Crafting for all Seasons, our theme is 'SOMETHING NEW' and our sponsor for this fortnight is:

Whoopsi Daisy

Prize:  2 Sheets of images from the Whoopsi Daisy Digi Shop

I have used a cute Whoopsi Daisy baby image for my card and coloured her with ProMarkers.

My papers are my new item, they are from the Forever Friends New Arrival collection.  The card stock, flower and doily have all been in my stash for quite some time but the lace is also new.  My sentiment is from a set I won some time ago - there is no name on the package, I cut it out using a Spellbinders Fancy Tag die and then, as you have probably noticed, I cut away the fancy bits!  The image and the sentiment have been lightly inked around the edges. The papers are glittered and I have added some stickles to the flower.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front using the same papers.
