A new week begins

Morning and happy new week to you all! Positive thinking here! So happy new week it is! I have made another card and in colours I normally don't use, so this was a fun great challenge. And it came from the new challenge up and running for the Crafty Cardmakers blog. You really should join us for this one. It's an inspirational photo that is our challenge this time around.

I have used the lovely Cookies for Santa for my card this time. It's from last years Christmas images from the Paper Shelter. She is coloured with my normal Letraset family in the shades of blue, green, creamy white and a dash of brown. Lovely colour combo even if I probably would have used it without the greens if it wasn't for the challenge. I took the colours and the tree as my inspiration for this card.


I got a little wild with my decorations; tons of flowers in a wild mix from Kort og godt and WOC, the lace is also from WOC, the charm is from my ever growing charm stash. A M.S punch is also used to give a lovely touch for the edge of one of the panels. Glitter is used on the flowers and all the tree decorations. After all it's a Christmas card and it needs sparkle and shine to it. Designer papers that was as made for this card is from NitWit collection called Holiday Charm.

Our sponsors this week is these two lovely companies that give away so lovely crafting prizes for two lucky winners this time. Be sure to pay them both a visit and look what they have in store for you!
