"Huddle Together"

I was really pleased to win the Nutcrafters New Year challenge - I've received a £10 voucher for the store and am looking forward to having a good look through the site to see what I can buy! 

Today's card is another Nutcrafters one - this time using a stamp called "Huddle Together".  For the background I've used a mixture of kraft and pink polka dot paper.  The "thank you" stamp is from Personal Impressions and I also used some Card Candi and small white paper flowers.

I've paper pieced the top of the umbrella, the girl's dress and the boots on the other girl to match the background - definitely one of my favourite techniques!

Here are some challenges for the card:

Nutcrafters - 'anything goes'
Passion for Promarkers - 'thank you'
The Paper Shelter - 'anything goes'
Allsorts - 'paper piecing'
Sweet Stampin' - 'spots and dots'
