This is a baby girl shower card for my youngest daugther, who is expecting her first child, and our second grandbaby. To add more depth of color, I colored all the dress ruffles, collar and cuffs on the paper and fussy-cuts with Copic markers. Doing some challenge browsing before I began enabled me to enter her card into nine challenges, as follows:
#1. WT723 - Ways to Use It, "I Hereby Resolve" - 1/17/18. Make a card based on a 2019 resolution about your cardmaking. I am determined to use up my old stash of dsp; use under-used supplies, and focus on finishing priority cards on time, such as this baby shower card for my daughter!
#2. MMTPT545 - Teapot Tuesday Challenge, "In the the New" - 1/1/19. Use four (4) things starting with letters in the words HAPPY NEW YEAR. Card design and who it goes to are your choice. Used: pink, patterned paper, pearls, punch, popped up, ribbon, and adhesives.
#3. AOCC19JAN - All Occasion Card Challenge, "January 2019" - 1/1/19. A shower card for my daughter.
#4. FS620 - Featured Stamper, "lacyquilter" aka Melody. Used her card layout, vintage style, and color as guides for my card with some changes in layout, added colors and embellishments.
#5. IC681 - Inspiration Challenge, "The Lakeside Collection" - 12/22/18. My inspiration is a cute little pink dress for a newborn real life doll.
#6. SC727 - Sketch Challenge - 12/12/18. Moved one band vertically instead of horizontal and changed the other to a horizontal ribbon rather than paper. I also rotated the oval.
#7. CT0918 - Fan Club Monthly Themes - September 2018, "Cutting Class" - 9/17/18. I used fussy-cutting with scissors, die-cutting, and punch cutting.
#8. F4A426 - Free for All Challenge, "Go Ahead & Get Fussy" - 4/20/18. Use required fussy cutting.
#9. USEIT2019 - Use It Challenge - ongoing. Used very old stash of patterned paper, old seam binding ribbon, and old and long unused dies for eyelet oval, pennant banners, and word sentiment.
Ingredients: SU Paper: Cardstock, Gingham Gala (balmy blue). Other: Patterned Paper. Dies: MFT Stitched Scalloped Edges; Eyelet Oval; Hero Arts: Thank You Messages Frame Cuts. Punch: WRMK Corner: Deco. Copic Coloring (paper dresses, gems). Ribbon: 5/8" seam binding. Pearl Gems (natural & colored). Chatterbox verse. Fussy-cutting. Size: 4-3/4" x 6."

This is fabulous! I cannot believe you got so many challenges in; you are definitely the challenge queen!
That all aside, this is just pure loveliness! Throat papers, and the cute little fussy cut dress and pearls are wonderful! Well done! Into my Faves!
