New Beginnings!!!

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone!!! I have my very first creation for the year 2011 and this one is for "The Dutch Dare Card Challenge". I used papers from my stash and one of my images called "Baby Mine". You can find this image and many more at my store "Pattie's Creations". I started out with white cardstock and added a piece of turquois paper that I embossed in my Cuttlebug. I colored my image with my Copics and cut it out with one of my Nesties. The sentiment is one of my dies also. I added ribbon, glitter flowers and 2 baby safety pins that I found in my stash of buttons. What do you think?

• Glitterbabes Challenge ... Theme is "Snow or Snowflakes"

I used papers from my stash and my Fiskars Lace Circle Punch to cut out my shape. I then colored my image from Meljen Designs with Adobe Fireworks and my Copics. I cut out the image with one of my Nesties scallop circles. I added Glossy Accents and then sprinkled some fine snowy glitter on it when it was wet. I cut out two stars with one of my punches using silver glitter cardstock. I placed one on the front of my tag and one on the back. I added a sentiment to the back and finished my tag with a piece of red ribbon on the front and a silver ribbon on the back. This creation makes a perfect gift tag for that special child in your life or even an adult!

I have a new creation today and this one is my DT creation for the Dutch Dare Card Challenge. The theme is "Christmas (gift) card, tag or ornament. I am also entering it in the following challenges:

• Tuesday Throwdown Challenge ... Theme is "Embellish It"
• Gingersnap Creations Challenge ... Theme is "Snow People" 

 I made an ornament and used an image from Crafty Sentiments called Snowman Couple. My papers are from My Mind's Eye called "O Christmas Tree". I colored this adorable snow couple image using Adobe Fireworks CS4. To get the snow on the image I used Scribbles 3D paint and sprinkled some crystal glitter on top. I love the look that this gives to Christmas cards and decorations. On the back of the ornament I added a sentiment that I stamped on. A few pointsetta flowers, a brad, silver ribbon and two Swarovski gems completed my creation.
