ABC Challenge...My First DT Card!

I was so excited last week to be asked to be a guest designer for the ABC Challenge this week...and even more thrilled when I was asked to be a permanent member of the Design Team...I just hope that I can help inspire you to join in with the fun of the challenges each week!

On to this week's challenge....we've reached the letter 'I' which is for 'Inside'. I don't usually decorate the insides of my cards...just not enough time...but have gone the extra mile for this one to make it really special (it's for my Mum's birthday on Monday).


Here's the inside:



And the front :



I've kept the layout and colour scheme the same throughout, using BasicGrey papers from the 'Porcelain' and 'Sultry' pads. The images are by Penny Black ('Crossing Bridges' and 'Gifts for You'), the letters were cut using the 'Olivia' alphabet, the flowers are all from Poppicrafts, the dragonfly brad is by Dovecraft, and the sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts.
Don't forget to stop by the other DT members blogs to check out their fab creations!
Can't wait to see what you all come up with too!
