Dancing Maggie

One of the Gremlin's friends from Mum's and Tots is 1 next week so I thought I'd get ahead and make her card today. She is a gorgeous little girl, very petite and lucky to be with us. I have tied it in with 3 challenges as I don't seem to have much time for crafting at the mo, and the challenges gave the ideas for the card. Firstly as it is a 1st birthday card it qualifies for the Papertake Weekly Challenge this week. It is in green and pink so that covers the Spoonfull of Sugar challegne and finally the sketch I have used comes from the new Lili of the Valley challenge blog. I have kept the card quite simple as it is for a 1 year old - but lots to fiddle with, chew and remove, but nothing that will choke them!
I have watercoloured this gorgeous Sugar Nellie Maggie using pencils. The papers are Papermania's Retro Flowers and from my stash, and I embossed the pink cardstock using a cuttlebug folder (forgotten the name). I love the pink fibre fringing so I used 2 lots!! I got it off the market really cheap! The flowers aare (of course) Prima and I have added gems to the centres of them and to some of the centres of the embossed flowers.
I don't usually put sentiments on my cards, so I have put a tag on secure by a brad and flower. One of my friends is great at calligraphy so she has promised to write the sentiment on for me - we think it will be "Look who's 1 today" - very original! Hopefully the tag is big enough!
