Dream Valley Challenges #1 Anything Goes

I am delighted to be posting my first design for the brand new Challenge Blog Dream Valley Challenges. We are launching with a nice easy one today, as it’s anything goes.
DV 01 Anything Goes WM
For my card I have used the second of the Marianne cut and emboss dies I mentioned in an earlier post. I think these are so pretty I just couldn’t resist them. You will note a liberal dose of my favourite colour of purple.  The image is an Inklined Digital stamp which I believe I actually got free from Imag-e-nation crafts, and I have coloured it with my promarkers. The die cut element is mounted onto some DCWV card and a scalloped blank.  The butterfly is a Spellbinders die, and all the gems were applied with my hot tool. I hate that thing, one minute they are not stuck and the next the glue is all of a slither and they are slipping and sliding all over my card. I must practice more!
This first challenge is sponsored by Lili of The Valley for the first prize of a £10 voucher

Second prize is the Fashionista and Dude Simply Sassy Set of stamps

Third Prize is the Windswept Simply Sassy stamp

So come on folks what you waiting for, head on over to Dream Valley Challenges and join in the fun! I look forward to popping around your blogs to see what you have come up with.
Whilst you are there I am sure my fellow teamies would appreciate you clicking on their links too!
I am also entering my card into
CES (Crafty Emma) Challenges – Flowers and Flutterbys
Crazy 4 Challenges – Flowers
One Stop Craft Challenge – Spring Flowers
If The Shoe Fits – Purple
Fussy and Fancy – Embossing and/or paper piecing
Stamp Something – Something with Flowers
By the way, after I finished it, I decided to glitter the peony. What do you think should I have left it as it was, unglittered?

Don’t forget this first challenge runs for just a week, and thereafter we will be coming at you fortnightly on alternate Sundays.

    Really gorgeous card, love the cutwork from the marianne die - someone next to me is admiring that too! prefer the unglittered version, but both look lovely. Also, the gems are great, the colour is fantastic with all the purple. CoB
