The Head to Head challenge at the Dragons Lair facebook challenge is use the Florence mini kit
(you do need to buy this set)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/636646656454888/

I have used three papers from the Florence mini kit to make three layers.  Then layered sentiment from Gingers House blog and then frame and lady from the kit on top.
Added chain and bow from the kit.

I would also like to add this card to the following challenges:

As you like it - favourite big or little bows and why.
I like little bows on my cards, adds something without taking over the whole card.  I mostly use digital bows as my sore hands find it hard to make a bow and easier for postage.

Outlawz Progressive challenge

Each month at Outlawz progressive challenge a different artist gives us a free digi stamp to use in the challenge.
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/freebie-progressive-challenge/forum/topics/progressive-freebie-challenge-1st-may-2016
If we make a project with the digi stamp and join the challenge we receive the next month's digi stamp for free.
This month's image has been kindly supplied by Ppinkydollsart


I have made a clean and simple card

I have printed Ppinkydollsart stamp Fifi  onto white card.  Added purple border.  Added sentiment from Ginger's House blog and changed colour to purple.
Coloured Fifi with different shades of purple Prismacolour pencils and glitter pen.  Coloured background with green and purple chalks.
(I don't know why my scanner doesn't scan the colours correctly.  The purple looks blue in the scan.)
