For my card this week I have used a fab image and sentiment pack from one of our new designers Digi Blessings. In the Snow Family pack you get a fab image of snow Mummy, Daddy and 2 babies and this lovely sentiment. It spoke to me as soon as I saw it J

I have made a larger card using an 8” square base. The image is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers with some Sakura glitter pen added for a bit of twinkle.

I am proud to say that this whole card has been made with old items from my stash The image and sentiment have been matted on a dark blue scrap which was the inside of some packaging and then on some pale blue card. The patterned paper is an old one by Dovecraft and the silver card is a sheet of Dufex that I have had FOREVER!! The snowflake at the top is a 3d embellishment and I had to replace the foam as it had gone brittle, I can’t remember where that came from. The bottom snowflake is cut with a Quickutz die from glitter card and assembled with a brad. I have had these in my stash for at least 2 years

Susie Sketch # 2

This card was made for a friend's birthday who we went out for a curry with on Friday night.

The layout of the card was inspired by Susie's Sketch #2. This is a really versatile sketch and I could see me using it a lot.

The card blank was covered with Dovecraft Birthday paper and the central strip is a scrap of card embossed with a cuttlebug folder (he loved the texture and kept playing with it all night, it was sooo funny to see a guy do that!)

The centre panels were cut with a Nestabilites die set. The cake is a Pink Petticoat printable image coloured in with permanent pens. The gems are from Paperchase and the sentiment is Dufex.

He was so enthusiastic about this card, amazing for a guy really!
