Sparkling with love

I have used Daisy with snowflake from Squiggle Stamps as my image, she is so gorgeous, and they have got a whole lot of wonderful new stamps and digi images just in, including some more of the most excellent Miss Evie range (really contemporary with a few subtle traditional inclusions, just got to love her hair!!!)
I have used several ribbons and my woodware punch to make the winter flower and some puffy hearts and stars. I have coloured her in with my promarkers and added sparkle.


I am entering her into the Christmas Stampin Challenge #61 - Ribbons 2 or more

Wintry Wishes


Love my Forever Friends stamps, even more so when they were a magazine front freebee. Coloured in with my Promarkers. I have layered up this card using some designer dovecraft papers from a couple of christmasses ago that I had relegated to the bottom of the pile. All this recent extra crafting for the blog challenges has seen me raking through everything. Its been great fun. Used a wee snowflake punch and a really large snowflake punch, glittered here and there and added my fave and very useful papermania gems.

With love from Witchy Daisy
