Charisma Cardz Challenge

Well, only a few days 'til the Big Day, so in celebration of the Christmas festivities, we are having a Two week challenge of ANYTHING GOES at Charisma Cardz this week!

I have made my last card for this year, using the lovely image 'In the Cold' from Robyn's Fetish Stamps, coloured with Promarkers.



The patterned papers are from a freebie magazine pack.

I have followed the sketch from Card patterns.

The image was cut using Nestabilities Sml, and layered onto a doily cut using an MFT die, with some red glittered card.

The white lace was a gift from my lovely blog friend Sasha at Sasha's Inspirations, and I layered some red chiffon over the top from my stash.

The sentiment is by Waltzingmouse Stamps, from their Nutcracker Sweet set, cut with a Spellbinders fancy tag, and sponged in Aspen Mist chalk ink.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Card patterns

Bling it On Challenge

Frosted Designs Challenge

Passion for Promarkers

Papertake Weekly

Paperplay Challenges

I Love Promarkers

Do stop by the Charisma Cardz blog, and see what the rest of the team have done, lots of lovely inspiration over there!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Pauline, you are definitely the "Queen of coloring"! I could look at your posts for hours because you are able to get so much depth on a flat sheet of CS. Love the colors you used and the fantastic shading in the snow.

Love your card! So fesive! ANd the use of ribbon lengths as part of the design elements is very pretty! I hope you'll join us again at Frosted Designs!
