First of Two Today

The first challenge I managed today is for Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Over there the challenge is Christmas for the Guys. This is my effort


I used distress inks to colour this image and I was really pleased with the result. If you click on it you can see it clearer. It is glittered with Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin Up. The paper is My Minds Eye and the sentiment is from Woodware. The ribbon is from my stash. Hope you like it.

2 Challenges Today

This is the second challenge I managed today which is amazing for me.. This one is for Passion for Promarkers, they had a sketch made by Ida. I follow her blog and her creations are amazing, have a look. Here is my card following the sketch


I used a stamp designed by Gillian Roberts and the paper is My Minds Eye. I used my Martha Stewart Lattice Punch on the brown card behind the image which is hard to make out because of my photo. The gems are from my stash.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Over at the Penny Black Challenge the challenge is White on White. You are only allowed to use colour on your image. I used the snowmen image coloured with Promarkers and stamped on a layered nestability. I embossed the background card with the cuttlebug snowflake folder. The charm is from Whiff of Joy and the snowflake is also Cuttlebug die embossed with Heat n Stick and then Dazzling Diamonds on top. The snowflake punch on the corners is from Fiskars.

Hope you like it.

Its hard to see the punched corners in my card as I still haven't figured out how to take good pictures for my blog.
