DT and GDT cards


It is my turn to host the challenge at Winter Wonderland and I have a sketch for you. I am so excited about this as it is my first sketch.


I hope you will find time to come and play as you could win a voucher to spend at


and/or be chosen as one of our top 3, not to mention building up that Christmas card pile.

My card features this cute couple from Gillian Roberts. Papers are BG Eskimo Kisses (how appropriate for the image). Not much of these papers left now and only 2 of these lovely Hero Arts poinsettias. I added some star bards for a change to match the star charm.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Basic Grey Punch it (punched borders and leaves with MS punches)
Secret Crafter Metal
Cupcake Blooming charming
ABC Christmas K is for Kissing
Bah Humbug Ribbon


The theme at Teddy Stampers is bedtime bears. This is my second and last GDT card from them. I decided rather than go for a sleepy bear I would use this beautiful Lili of the Valley image. Bedtime for me means following my nightly cleansing routine before bed just like this little bear. I added glossy accents to the mirror. Papers are Papermania Rose Garden. The paper pack also has some lovely sentiments and borders, both of which I used here. I layered the sentiment twice as it is rather small. Flowers are Wild Orchid with punched leaves.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley Great sketch
A spoon full of sugar Cute and girly
Papertake Say it with flowers
Charisma 3D
