Polkadoodles Challenge

It's Friday and blowing an absolute hooley here with torrential rain. Glad I'm cosy inside!
So today it's another Polkadoodles Challenge and the theme was set by Miria and it is

Italian Christmas

White, red and green should be the colours in your card.

So here is mine

I've used papers from the Polkadoodles Magical Winter 2 and Creative Christmas CDs. The sentiment is also from the Magical Winter 2 CD. The image is a digi image and comes from DigitalChu, it has been coloured with Copics.

The DT girls have made a lovely selection of cards, all very different and inspiring. Please come over and have a look and then maybe join in with us. I'd love to see your Italian Christmas cards.

Cute Card Thursday

Thursday again and it's 31 !! yikes days till Christmas. Are you ready?

Today's card is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge and we had a great sketch designed by DT girl, Fiona to follow.



So here's my card



Everything off the card is from the Polka Doodles Magical Winter CD Part 2. Well except the pearls and wooden heart. I used my label spellbinder die to cut around the image, which is coloured with copics and clear star pen. I've also used some diamond stickles to act as the snow. I coloured the wooden heart with lavender distress ink.

I'd love to see what you can do with the sketch so why not go over to the CCT challenge blog and see what the other DT girls have done and then take part?
