When I saw that Belles and Whistles was sadly closing down and the were offering 50% discount on their stamps I just had to buy some Elisabeth Bell ones as I love her images. This is the first one I have used. I don't seem to have made many blue and white cards this Christmas simply because I don't have that many Christmas papers in those 2 colours. These are all old papers, the vellum I bought at a show years ago. The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons, sentiment from Crafty Sentiments. The image has been coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and die cut with a Nestie. To achieve her faded jeans I used a blender very quickly after the blues before they had time to dry. Loads of glitter and a Sakura bluestar pen for plenty of glitz. The snowflakes were made with a MS punch and Centura pearl card. I don;t think I have ever used white glitter card with the Marianne poinsettia dies before but I really like it with blue Centura pearl holly leaves. Try punching leaves in different colours to match your card, green wouldn't have looked right at all.
