Something new and 3 challenges in 1

Hi Folks!!
Wow! What a fabulous day at The Craft Barn yesterday. Met lots more lovely crafters doing their second favorite thing... shopping for crafting goodies. But more about that and pictures of my demos later this week.
It's wet 'n' windy here on the usually sunny south coast which means more crafting for me! Yay! As the heading suggests I have combined 3 challenges with this card. For this weeks Basic Grey Challenge there is a recipe: 2 patterned papers (mine are from the BG sugared range, precious and charming.) 1 button (I have used a heart/love button) 1 ribbon and bow and lastly 3 brads. I am also entering the Charisma Cardz Challenge which has the theme of 'love and the lili of the valley' challenge which is 'Valentine'.

Don't you just adore my beautiful Rosabella? Bit bias here as I drew her... but I think she's lovely ;o) I've used my prismas, sansodor and paper stumps to colour her and I've added a touch of glitter to the detail on her delicate fairy wings. I used my nestabilities to cut the precious BG paper and inked the edges with my Brilliance dewdrop pads. That's pretty much it, so another simple card from me today.
