The Holly and The Ivy

Here I am with my DT card for this week's Winter Wonderland challenge. I'm hosting the challenge of Holly and/or Ivy. You can use either or both on your card, as much or as little as you like. I hope you'll join us for the chance to win a Simon Says $15 voucher. I seem to be having a Pollycraft week this week as I have used another of Paula's fab digis. This is Aurelia. I've used an ivy leaf punch and Sizzix holly leaves around the gorgeous flower from Michaels. The 3D sentiment was from an old set I found. The swirl is also from a Sizzix die and I used an MS PATP set. Papers are last year's Papermania Penelope and Percy. There's lots of glitter on the papers and on the fur on her clothes.

Stamp Something Embellish something

I had a very exciting parcel delivered yesterday, 72 Spectrum Noir pens. These are released today at Crafter’s Companion. There are 168 different colours available and there are some special offers on the website. Now if you are a regular reader you will know how much I love my Promarkers. I received the Spectrum Noir pens as part of my DT work for Crafter's Companion and hoped I would like them. Well I can tell you I love them. They are double ended alcohol markers. The fine end is a hard nib like PMs but a bit finer and they blend beautifully. One of the great things about them is the price and the fact that they are refillable. I haven't tried them with my PMs yet but think they would work well with either these or Copics. If you are on Facebook head over to the I'm a Crafter's Companion page and check out the chatter from the rest of the DT who are also loving them. I need to get my samples finished which I'll be showing you from next Tuesday. You are going to love these new stamps.
