Rainbow Lady's Challenge, 'It's all new to me'

My very first card as part of the lovely Cynthia's DT over at Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog and not only do we have a fantastic challenge, "Its all new to me" but we also have a wonderful sponsor. Our challenge is sponsored by the lovely Joanna Sheen who is offering our lucky winner a £10 voucher for her shop! I started stamping after seeing Joanna demonstrating on Create and Craft quite a few years ago and I just LOVE her stamps! Our challenge this week was a great excuse to invest in some new stamps from Joanna.I'd wanted these beautiful handbag stamps for ages and as they were on offer I got a real bargain too!!


I've used a bp from the 'Essence of Nature' CD by Artylicious and embossed swirls around the edges using a HOTP stamp and then edged the bp with black soot DT. The gorgeous vintage lady image is a stamped image from my lovely friend Tess, she is coloured with promarkers and has a little feather and gem added to her hat and belt. The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons, the feather is from Joanna Sheen as is the handbag stamp. The handbag is stamped and embossed in black on purple mirri card with lilac glitter added to the stripes and gunmetal stickles to the clasp and trim.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Lots to do: New Beginnings
Sweet Stampin Challenge: Your favourite song (Purple Haze for me, ooops showing my age
now lol)
Simon Says Stamp'n'Show: Your newest stamp
The Shabby Tea Room: Welcome 2011 (my 11 elements are: black card, purple bp, swirly stamp, black feather, handbag, glitter, purple feather, gems, floral ribbon, stickles, stamped lady image,  I'm tempted to add fondue set and cuddly toy for those of you who remember the Generation Game lol)
Paper Sundaes: Something new

I do hope you're going to join us at Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog and show us something new, it could be new craft goodies, a new technique or maybe a new fold.
Thanks fo calling by
