I'm in the Spotlight at SK Digis this week!!

Hi Crafty friends,

I have the honour of being in the spotlight at SK Digis today! Sonia is such a lovely lady and I adore her images so when she asked me I was thrilled to bits! I have used 3 of her images to create one scene on my card here. I coloured them with copics and used "Fluffy Stuff" for the snow. I also used a gorgeous pearl flourish from my company, Flourish with a Bling.

The SK Digis I used were:

White Xmas tree 2
White Xmas tree 4
Chilly the Penguin

Thank you so much for having me as a guest designer Sonia!

Tiddly Inks traditional Christmas card

Hi Crafty friends,

Yes, I'm still going strong with my latest cards hehe. If you follow you me you may notice that I've only just used this image on a blue and brown Christmas card. Now I couldn't help but use it with traditional colours as it's such a gorgeous Tiddly Inks image. I used texture paint on the snowman to give him an authentic "snow" look and added fine glitter to the little girl's white trim.
