Meet My Special Guest Designer - Simon Says Stamp Special Children's Challenge

Good morning peeps,
Today there is no card from me but I have a special guest designer joining me on my blog as today is the start of a
at
& the theme is

To be eligible for a chance to win a prize the child must be between 2 and 16 years old :-) Adults are allowed to help a little bit only :-)

Some of you may remember my nephew Scrumptious (Daniel) joined me on my blog last summer with some gorgeous creations he made while staying with me, and today my niece
GEMMA
has very kindly agreed to be my guest designer.
Gems is 12 years old and this is only the 2nd card she's ever made, I'm sure you'll agree her card is beautiful, she's really done me proud. I posted a parcel of goodies off to Gemma as she lives too far away from me to pop round and help her, not that she needed any help as before I knew it Gems was on the phone telling me she'd finished her card & I was thrilled when she emailed me the picture of it. I so wish Gems lived closer to me and could come and play in my craft room, I'd have her blogging and hooked on card making in no time lol.
Ingredients -
Medium - pencils
Butterflies - Prima
Pearls - Hero Arts
Roses - Prima & stash
Doily - stash, take a peek at the gorgeous crochet ones here

I love how Gems has coloured Tilda's hair with the shading, and the gorgeous colour combo she's used is so pretty

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring this challenge with a whopping $50 spending spree in the fabby
