Whiff of Joy Anniversary Guest DT Call

Whiff of Joy will be celebrating their 1st anniversary on the 25th July with a Blog Hop and Katharina has decided to host a sketch challenge to find the 15 Blog Hop Guest Designers, who will each receive 1 of the newly to be released Whiff of Joy stamps for free.
How does it work:

Create a card after the following sketch, using at least 1 WoJ stamp (you can of course combine it with stamps from other companies :)
Post it on your blog linking back to this post. 
Add the link to your blog post in the Mr. Linky Widget at the bottom, so that Katharina can have a look
You have to be available on July 25th. Your post for the blog hop has to be online at a certain time. It would also be ok if you can schedule the post.
The Guest Designer Call will be open until Wednesday July 8th, 8pm GMT+1
I will announce the 15 Blog Hop Guest Designer on Thursday, who will then receive 1 brand new Whiff of Joy stamp.
This stamp has to be used for your blog hop creation. You will receive a detailed information about the blog hop after the GD Call ends.

I struggled for ages with this sketch - just couldn't get that curvy edge the way I wanted, but this is what I managed today...

an alternative view to let you see the curvy cut a bit better...

Image: Blossom Fairy Charlotte from Whiff of Joy, coloured with promarkers: Cool Aqua, Turquoise, Marine, Lilac, Lavender, Ivory & Blush for Skin and clear sakura stardust pen.

Matted onto lilac core'dinations card, die cut using scallop circle nesties and sanded.

papers are all Clare Curd's Signature Range - The Big One, the polka dot panel is matted onto DCWV glitter cardstock.

Paper and fabric flowers are all papermania, buttons from stash, kanban adhesive stones, greeting is papermania diecut cardstock and the edges of the front of the card were inked with Colorbox liquid chalk inkpads.

The customary close up of Charlotte...

Another close-up at another angle to show the clear sakura stardust pen details

I have 2 reasons to celebrate on the 25th July, not only is it Whiff of Joy's anniversary, but it is also my youngest - Faith's - 3rd birthday. Dunno how that happened, it just seems like 5 minutes since I had my quickest labour ever and had gave birth to her while Graham was offshore lol.

I love these colours, and the glitter - or shiny bits, and the layout - it's great.
