Morning, well actually its really still Monday (and I'm watching Who wants to be a millionaire) but am trying to see if I can use the post options thingy (very technical I know!).

I have just completed a card challenge for the very first time on the http://docrafts.co.uk card making forum on the theme of "party" so thought I would put on here as well. There are a number of firsts for me with this as I have used my Christmas Nestabilities for the first time as well as a Friskars border punch and my bargain Sizzix alphabet set. Backing card is DCWV (I think) checked card from paper mill a long time ago, feathers trimmed from daughters boa (sshh don't think the space is too noticeable...) Key charm which you can't see too well from stash. Tilda coloured with promarkers
Top - lime green & blossom
Jeans - cornflowers blue
Boots - lavender & blossom
Hair - yellow, satin & vanilla ( i don't seem to be able to get an effective blonde - "nice & easy" is much better!!)

I tried to get a weaving effect but was too raised so not sure about that!.

I'm wondering how long it takes other people to make cards as I spent probably about 2 hours doing this and it seems a lot of time for not very much (although very enjoyable!!)?
