Snowflakes


Good Morning everyone.
Only 30-few days until Christmas,
I have found one of my beloved Magnoliastamps again, and made a blue and white, wintertime christmascard.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers. DPs are MajaDesign Vintage Frost Basics. I used lots of different dies for decorations on the card. I put some cheesecloth under the image and a little Frantage (Chunky White) around it. I also used laces, halfpearls and pearlstrings, some swirls, a snowflakecharm. Two silverbells are attached to the bow made of seambindingribbon.
I used the new DistressInk HickorySmoke on the paperedges - great colour, but I don't think it'll be a new favourite like the WalnutStain is...


On the left inside I made a pocket to hold two tags - either to stamp or write greetings on, or simply to use as gifttags. On the right side I placed a writing panel, made with a Punch Around The Page set from Martha Stewart.

On the back of the card I put on a die cut made with my new dies from Xcut (docrafts)....

...isn't it just gorgeous??? I LOVE it!

The image is coloured with ProMarkers

Food and Drink @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all.
It's Wednesday again, and time for a new challenge over at 

The theme for this one is
Food and Drink


This week we've been sponsored by Just Inklined, and I've used the image Gnome Brew on my card. On my christmas card. These days I only have christmas projects going on. I feel the christmas spirit coming more and more each day. I really love this time of the year.
The image is colored with ProMarkers. I wanted to try a little different colour combo than the red/ grey I normally would have used for a gnome, and think this blue/ green worked out quite well.
I've used DPs from Papirdesign. To decorate the card I used lots of snowflake dies, cheesecloth, seam binding ribbon, a snowflake charm and glitters tickles on some of the snowflakes. 
Inside the card I stamped christmas greetings from Storyteller and Kort&Godt.
Here's my christmas card:
