Thank you all for your interest in my DT call, I've not made any cards for my blog over the past 2 days as I've been enjoying myself looking over the lovely blogs of all the ladies that have applied to my DT call.
Wow it was a tough decision to make with so many lovely talented ladies applying to join the Die cut Dreams Christmas Club Challenge and I wanted to chose you all but unfortunately that wasn't possible, but instead of choosing just one new DT as I first planned I made the decision to add 2 new Designers to my Die cut Dreams Christmas Club Challenge team and the 2 very Talented girls are ..................

Think Pink for Christmas

Hi girls......... I made this card with some papers from a beautiful book of Designer paper sent to me as a gift from my lovely friend Corry aka Wheeza I love them all but this is my favourite with the beautiful pink roses and golden cherubs, I thought it was perfect for a pink Christmas card.
Don't you just love this new Tilda she was crying out to be colours with a soft shade of pink and I added so fine glitter over her dress to add some sparkle.
I also used my SU corner punch to cut some metallic gold icicle patterned card and 2 different MS snowflake punches and an MS leaf punch to cut the gold leaves that I arranged amongst the pink roses, I also glittered the roses before adding the pink glass pearl pin.
I ribbon/lace I bought from eBay.
And lastly to add the finishing touch I stamped and heat embossed the gold Christmas sentiment from SU.
I have entered in to these challenges;
Just Magnolia challenge Think Pink
ABC challenge G for Glitter
Simon says challenge Punch Em'
CCC Challenge Punch
Stampavie Challenge Christmas
Spoonful of Sugar challenge Punch
