First Card of 2012

Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re off to a good start this year.

Sketchy Colors current challenge is a sketch that is to be combined with one of their previous color combos. Since the weather has been miserable and grey lately, I wanted to use some bright and happy colors. When I scrolled through the old color combo challenges, I found this one (#64): pink, orange & white

…and here’s my card with one of the fairies from In2Stamps’ Fairy Collection:

This is the 1st time I’ve ever colored hair pink, so this is my “New”. :-D Hope that counts!?
