The Boxer and Envelobox Creator Bundle with Advanced Techniques DVD








For my card, I have used an image from Kars, and coloured her with Promarkers.
I then made some different sized panels using mirri card layered with some patterned papers.




The sentiment stamp is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, Compliments of The Season set. The small glittered snowflake on the sentiment label is a punch by Kars.



I have used a Cuttlebug die to cut these snowflakes in mirri card, and layered them onto some Seam Binding, wrapped around the card panel of pretty patterned papers from Wild Rose Studios.



The little stars are from the same die as the snowflakes were cut, I just had to use them!




I added some roses topped with stickles, and also added some stickles to her hairband and skates.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Ollyfant Stamps Winter Skates - Kars; Compliments of the Season - Waltzingmouse Stamps

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black; Versamagic Sea Breeze

Paper: Wintry Christmas - Wild Rose Studios; Mirri Card from stash; White linen card blank from stash

Ribbon:Pearl Aqua Seam Binding - The Ribbon Reel


Other: Stickles; Clear gems; Kars Snowflake punch; Cuttlebug Snowflake Die; Paper Roses - The Hobby House

Do stop by the rest of the team for some fabulous inspiration!


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - New - I have used new papers

Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp - New - New Papers

Really Reasonable Ribbon - Sparkle and Ribbon - I have used mirri card, gems, stickles, glamour dust and seam binding!
