Hello and welcome.
It was lovely to be able to play along with the sketch challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week. Here is my take on it…
I treated myself to this cute little penguin die by Sizzix – there’s nothing quite like a bit of retail therapy to cheer oneself up, is there?
The background paper I have had in my stash for a long time, since I started my crafting journey in fact, so it was good to finally put it to good use!
I also treated myself to a set of snowflakes dies by Tim Holtz, and layered two together – one in silver and one in glitter card – I love the dimension this gave. I stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set by Stampin Up in black stazon ink.
I can’t wait to die cut more of this cute little guy – he’s adorable! And as it’s a bigz die, I’ll be able to cut him out in lots of different materials so I’ll be experimenting with felt and craft foam – I’m really looking forward to that!
I hope you’ve been inspired to join the lovely ladies at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown card challenge this week – we’d love you to join us.
Have a lovely weekend
