Southern Girls DT Card - 1st Challenge - Anything Goes

Goodmorning and welcome!  Today I am excited to post the first ever challenge for Southern Girls Challenge Blog.  The theme for this week is Anything Goes...so no excuses for not entering a card! Head on over and link up your latest card or layout to be in the running for our great prizes!  Click on the banner below to go directly to the Challenge Blog.


This week we are sponsored by Wink Wink Ink designs and I made my card with a cute little Wink Wink Ink image called Chick Border and it is still available for free here.  I printed it onto white card stock and coloured it with Copics.  Then I used my ink pad and finger sponge to colour the sky and grass.


I gathered my ribbon up a bit and sewed over it to hold the gathers.  Then I added the bow on top.  I added a mixture of flowers in the corners with a leaf punch out.  Card and papers are all from  Stampin' Up.  The "Happy Spring" sentiment is a CC Designs stamp that I added last of all.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Allsorts Challenges - New beginnings (Spring here in Aust)
Stamp Something - Something Cute (Cute little chickies)

Can't wait to see what you create for the Southern Girls First Challenge - Anything Goes!
