Hi everyone hope you're all looking forward to the weekend and we're nearly there!!! Here's my card for DU2DS where the challenge this time is Punched Shapes or Die Cuts, so there are many possibilities including punches, nestabilities, dies, pre-cut chipboard etc. I've punched some snowflakes for my card from my background paper which is by K&Co and the name escapes me at the moment but I'll update when I check. I've used my new digi image 'Christmas Card Crisis' and watercoloured with distress inks then added stickles, sparkle glaze pen and silver glitter pen which hardly shoes up at! A straightforward card design as I wanted the image to be the main focus. To finish off I tied a red ribbon at the top and added some gems to the centres of the snowflakes.
If anyone is going to Ally Pally on Saturday I hope you'll shout as I'm going too and meeting up with some of my blogging friends for the first time which is brilliant. Have a great weekend. Chris x

Please teach me to digi!! What are you doing after the image is printed that lets you colour with distress inks? Or is the secret in the print? Well, this card is beautifully coloured and love how the image is center stage :)

Es un gran trabajo, colorear esa imagen como lo has hecho es de una gran profesional, como dices es el tema principal y no has querido eclipsarlo, genial, una leccion que tomo, porque se debe priorizar en cada card lo importante.
Feliz reunion y feliz fin de semana. Bss

P.S. Nutcrafters are doing the digi set as a one-off for Breast Cancer Awareness and as far as I know have no plans to do more digi - I suppose it will depend how this one goes and the main reason was to raise the funds for the charity.
