My 100th challenge entry for Dotties World!

Sadly this week sees the last regular challenge over at Dotties World although there will still be the occasional entry and blog candy up for grabs and they will still be posting tutorials and inspiration.  Now I try to complete the challenge at Dotties Whenever I get the chance as it was Louly and DOtties World that really got me started with blogging and digi images so I have a lot to thank them for.  I would never have met the fabulous people that I now consider to be firm friends, I would never have gotten brave enough to enter so many different challenge blogs!  So I will continue to follow Dotties World and keep using all the images I have (which are alot! lol, infact I think there is only one sert I haven't got yet!) 

Well now on with my card, this week Gunn asked us to use 2 charms and 1 brad and a Charmed Download of course!  I chose to use Maddison in Paris from the Holly & Maddison World Tour collection and I used a precoloured image as the colours were perfect for what I had in mind.  Paper is papermania and cs is coredinations.  I also used some of my new purchases!  The nesting shapes are Go Create, the flowers were made using a punch set system that first punches the shape out then you put it into a machine that looks like a punch but actually is an embossing machine specifiacally for that punch and it shapes it and embosses it with detail, (quite clever really and effective, got it in 2 sizes!)  I added some white gel pen for faux stitching and the ribbon, the charms and brad are from my stash, and my friend showed me how to make decent bows using the 'bunny ear' method cant believe how easy that was and now I have a bow with all the bits going in the direction I want them! lol. I really enjoyed putting this together.  Thanks for everything, everyone involved in Dotties World, especially Lou and Karen, you guys rock! x
