Jingle Punch

Hello everyone!

The theme this week is "PUNCHES & DIES", a perfect opportunity for me to get my new punches out. A few weeks back, my local craft store had a summer sale and I had a blast rummaging through all the discounted items and coming up with some real gems, like a couple of Martha Stewart border punches and some lovely stamp sets. I don't know about you, but I love a crafty bargain, crafting stuff can be SO expensive, especially the stuff that is to my taste ;) So I don't mind a lovely discount, thank you very much. How Dutch of me ;)

Anyway, our sponsor this week is

This week, I decided to make a Christmas card, had it all worked out in my head but of course something went a little awry in the execution, I tried to fix it, that made it even worse, so I salvaged what I could and thought I'd make a little Christmas scene instead. I used my MS punches to create the landscape of a hill and snow underfoot and am pretty pleased with the end result.

Materials:
* Create & Craft base card
* Hunkydory the Cat's Meow DP, used Stickles on the stars and distressed the edges
* Digital Delights Jingles and Tree and Christmas sentiments set, coloured with Promarkers en Spectrum Noirs (I am especially happy about the boots, seems my colouring is improving somewhat)
* MS Doily Lace & Snow Men Border punches, used to make the snow and a background hill (used up some of those little scraps I had lying around, which was very gratifying)
* Tumbled Glass and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks
* Sew Easy Brown Floss
* Gems from my stash
