Little Chorister

I hate to say the C word, but Christmas is creeping up very quickly, so my DT card for our new challenge at Passion for Markers is - yes, you guessed it - a Christmas card, lol

Our theme from Karen this time is 'Die-cuts and/or Punches' I think I may have gone a bit overboard on my die-cuts, but you certainly can't say that I didn't follow the theme!


Image - 'Little Christmas Girl 01' - ADU

Paper - LOTV 8 x8 paper pad

Dies used: 'Looped Ovals',  'Double Stitched Ovals and 'Warmest Wishes' sentiment (Festive Collection) from Sue Wilson

Corners from 'Christmas Holly' by Katy Sue with added mini gems for berries and finally a musical note punch from Hobbycraft

Finished off with red ribbon and a bow from my stash

So Pretty

 We have another challenge for you starting today at Passion for Markers and it really couldn't be any easier this time! - Elaine would like to see projects for 'Birthdays'  

Our sponsor is Beccy's Place



The DT got to play with an image from Beccy's shop - but - oh what a decision to make! All her digis are so lovely, but, in the end I chose to go with a gorgeous flower image which was so easy to colour because of the shading that Beccy has drawn - So pretty!




Image - 'Bees and Blooms' - Beccy's Place
Papers from an 8x8 pad by Teresa Collins for Creative Expressions
Sentiment - Kanban's Holly Hobbie collection
I used a Daisy Mae die for the image - 'Nested Rectangles Torn Edge'
Finished off with some gems and a bow (of course!)
