Baby's first Christmas

Hiya bloggers, hope you are all having a great weekend. I'm spending the day in my craft room i have a few orders i need to make so i'm gonna combine them with some challenges, the first one i have done is a baby's first christmas card, i have used the gorjuss Mo Manning image and this week on Mo's challenge blog its all about the bling, teh second challenge im entering is Totally Gorjuss and this week its Christmas so my card fits both of these. I coloured the image with pro markers and prisma pencils blended with sansodor, i use both because i dont have all the pro markers yet an find i cant blend to good with the colours i have so until i get more this is how i get my shading. The papers are from a christmas dovecraft pack, flowers and pearl spray are from Abakhans and the bling is Rangers glossy accents covered with a fine glitter.
