Welcome to my blog!

From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Spotty Snowflake



Yes it's a Christmas card but is is July!! I realised I don't use my dies as much or as well as I could so I came up with this very simple idea yesterday!



I found some spotty paper I had in my stash and added a Craftwork Cards Sentiments and silver nailheads (also from stash).


I really like the simple effect...hope you do too!


I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Annabelle Stamps - Snowflakes
Crafty Catz - Spots
Ladybug Crafts - Christmas in July
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes



Hope you are having a good Saturday and staying out of the rain!!
