Back to Nature but no Flowers!

It was a bit of a funny day today....I went to PC world to buy a replacement for the chewed laptop power supply at lunchtime. When we got it home, we managed to fit it to the Laptop but it would not charge. Frustrated, we drove back to Reading this evening to return it and try and buy an alternative. We got to PC World only to discover we needed to turn a little dial on the bottom of the Power Supply to make sure it kicked out the correct voltage!! How silly did we feel!! Anyway...the laptop is charged now, we stopped for tea on the way home and Darren and the boys bought me two tops and some jeans while we were out and about for Mother's Day :-) I have been spoilt!
When I got home I faffed about for a bit looking through my paper scraps and digis and made this card.
It's a bit unusual for me as it's all pale and pastelly, I usually go much brighter but I liked this polka dot paper with the lemon DCWV card so I went with it.

The image is a Heather Ellis Pure Innocence Digi. I have three of these now. They are so cute! The Spotty paper is from Inspire me, the ribbon is Papermania as are the gems and the Die cut shapes are all Spellbinders. As the little cutie on my card is going 'Back to Nature' with her little watering can surrounded by Butterflies I am entering this card in to the Passion for Promarkers Challenge which is 'Back to Nature', I am also entering it into the Die Cut Dreams Challenge which forbids you from using Flowers and last but not least I am entering it into the I love Promarkers Challenge which asks for a Shaped card.
I think this is the first time I have combined so many Challenges on one card.
I hope you had a good Monday.
