KISS over at Winter Wonderland

Hello

Thank goodness it's Friday.  This has been a mega busy week at work and I've been chasing my tail all week so it will be good to have the weekend off work and hopefully catch up with myself!!  As today's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at Winter Wonderland and this week the challenge is:

KISS

(Keep it simple and sweet.  Remember we're still in the 'none' Christmas mode, so your project can be for any occasion.)

Our sponsor this week is Dis Digi Stamps who are offering a $12 voucher to the lucky winner.

I've certainly gone for the sweet, simple minimalistic look for my DT card.  

The image is 'James - Santa Stop Here' from LOTV which has been coloured with Inktense Pencils and a mixture of fun flock and flower soft added to his hat.  The image was die cut using the Die-namics Stitched Square STAX (MFT), 

The paper is from Craft Creations.  I added a few pearls in two corners and that was it, very simple.

Only One Designer Paper over at Winter Wonderland

Hello

Well almost another week over and as today's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at Winter Wonderland and this week the challenge is:

Only One Designer Paper

(So we only want to see one patterned paper on your project.  Remember we're still in the 'none' Christmas mode, so your project can be for any occasion.)

Our sponsor for this one is All Dressed Up 

and the prize is a choice of 2 digi images.

The sponsor kindly donated images for the design team to play with and I used 'Fairy Magic', isn't she cute?  

The image has been coloured with Copic pens and glitter has been added to her wings and the butterflies.  I also edged the bow in her hair and the sash on her dress with glitter (it's a bit difficult to see it in the photo).  

The paper is 'Bon Bon' from Craftwork Cards and I used a Martha Stewart punch along one side.  The sentiment is by LOTV 'Set 26 - Simply Sophisticated'.  Ribbon and pearls are from my craft box.  

Please pop over to the Winter Wonderland blog to see the fabulous inspiration from the design team.
