Posh has a present

Hello everyone

Wishing you all a belated Happy New Year!  I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted a card.  Hopefully, I'll get back to a normal routine now.

Today's card hasn't turned out a bit like I'd initially planned but I am pleased with it nonetheless.  I'm sure we all have those creations which just evolve as they're being made. This is an 8"x 8" which I find accommodates the Stamping Bella stamps better.

Items used:

Stamp - Stamping Bella
Coloured with ProMarkers
Papers - LOTV
Dies - Marianne Creatables, Impression Obsession
Flowers, button, ribbon, gems and Stickles are from my stash

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Penny Black & More - One for the girls
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything goes
Bunny Zoe's Challenge - Hearts
Stamping Sensations - Anything goes with dies
Ribbon Girl January any image challenge
In the Pink - Bling it on
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite one or multi-layer
(I prefer multi-layer cards, if I use just one layer it doesn't feel finished)
Allsorts Challenge - Bring on the bling
Bellarific Friday - Love is in the air (which girl doesn't love shopping?)
