Challenge #110 at Crafts and Me

Good morning everyone!

I`m in a hurry today, so i have to do this post very quick. I`m off to take the drivers licence for the bus and i`m quite nervous! 

It was my turn to set the challenge over at Crafts and Me, and i`ve chosen

UNTRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS

For my card this time i have used an image called Translucence which is from the latest release from Crafts and Me. This image is available here. It is a Sara Burrier design and i think this really looks divine. Perfect for a Chrismas card.

The medallion i`ve created myself. (not the metal part, lol) I cut out a tiny image from a sheet of cutouts from Pion Design and glued onto the medallion. Then i used an epoxy sticker to secure the image inside.  I think the end result looks great. Hope you like it too.

Autumn by Sara Burrier

Hi sweet peeps!

I was going to show you one of the new releases that are due on dec 1st but my printer is out of ink, so i had to use one of the ones i allready had printed out.

So i coloured this gorgeous image in Christmas-colours instead.
