I dug out an old Penny Black Stamp called 'Royal Mail' and coloured it with my Promarkers

I wanted the post box and the hedgie to be the focus on my card so I decided to use just red, black and grey for the image and kept the background white,  I diecut stitched squares and embossed two of them with a snow embossing folder.  I diecut some poinsettias and used ny grey promarker tio colour the card while it was still in the die.  I finished the card off with some red enamel dots and a stamped sentiment.  Oh, and lots of glitter of course!! 
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations over the next couple of weeks.

I'd also like to wish you all a lovely Christams and let's hope 2021 is a better year for us all!

'Christmas'

 Hi crafters

There's a great new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week.  Linda has given us the fab theme of 'Christmas' - a great excuse to add to your Christmas makes as these weeks are certainy flying by!!

We are kindy sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a £20 voucher to spend in their online store- such a great prize!

I've used a digi I bought last year and never got to use until now!  It's called 'Garden Party' and it's so cute!!


It was great fun colouring this one - only had to colour the hats and noses!!!  Lots of glitter was added to the hats and I found some lovely sparkly ribbon to wrap around the card.  Some die cut leaves and a poinsettia were added to the corner and a couple of snowflakes here and there.  This could be a good one to batch make - I should have made a few of them while I was at it!!

It would be great if you could enter your Christmas creations in this challenge.  Remember to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products to be eligible for the prize and of course, follow the theme!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creation.

Hugs, Karen x
