Black and White or Colour?

Hello friends. My card today is my DT piece for


and our challenge this fortnight is to share your creation using black and white or colour...whichever you favour, with an explanation of course!!

Those of you that visit often will know that I love patterned paper and always colour my images to match...so here is the latest effort!!


The From The Heart digi was just too cute to resist. The Hobbycraft pad was still on my desk so I used that again together with the snowflakes also from Hobbycraft.

Some challenges

Crafting with dragonflies #44 - Anything Goes
Spellbinding Stamps Challenge #1 - Embellishments (snowflakes & ribbon)
Love to scrap #63 - Ribbon or lace
Natalie and Amy #37 - Snow people
Penny's papercrafty challenge #248 - Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations #330 - Stars and/or stripes

See you soon xx

Gorgeous card Sarah! So adorable, and I love these colours!

I'm with you on the colours, especially in regards to papers, though I'm also rather fond of getting messy with all my distress Inks, which I have in every single colour, lol. x

Well that's just stinkin' precious!! I love that image!! Your card is designed beautifully :)

MaryH said...

Excellent work on matching your cute Snowie's dress to that beautiful icy blue paper. Love the pattern combination too, with the design AND the colors. That's something you do so well (and I envy because I don't!). The little wooden snowflakes are wonderful embellies, love the rustic touch of the texture. Well done. Have a great weekend, hope it is nice enough to take a little outing with Surprise. TFS & Hugs

Kat W said...

I wonder what this cute snowman is giggling at...maybe he just threw a snowball at someone?! He is adorable and I love him teamed with the gorgeous frosty colours and pretty papers :-)

Big hugs, Kat xx

Inkyfingers said...

What a gorgeous, fun and festive card Sarah. I've been wondering if the cute snowman is
a) about to blow a kiss to someone
b) blowing on his hands to keep them warm
c) having a good old giggle
or all of the above?
Hugs
