I decided to give my poor neglected Cricut some use and cut a large heart from a piece of Dovecraft paper. I've used the lovely Snow Love stamp, one of my favourite Christmas stamps, stamped on Stampin' Up kraft card and coloured with koh-i-noor pencils... which was probably a mistake! I still need lots of practise colouring on kraft, the white didn't go quite as white as I would have liked (maybe I 'need' prisma pencils?) and all the stamped lines faded so I had to go over them with a black fineliner. Added stickles and glamour dust for some sparkle.
The paper was mounted on foam pads for a bit of dimension. The wooden snowflake was a sneaky purchase from a few days ago... I just happened to pass a craft shop on my way to meet a friend - well it would've been rude to walk past without going in wouldn't it?! Added a button from my stash and a LOTV sentiment.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Charisma Cardz - love
- Paper Sundaes - anything goes (2nd entry)
- Simon Says Stamp - anything goes (2nd entry)
My little car's in for its MOT today - isn't it horrible waiting to find out the results (and cost!), I'm always a bag of nerves on MOT day. Will be back in a little while with my first DT card for Sweet Stampin'.

this is gorgeous!!! and your colouring on kraft is just fabulous!!! Hugs Juls
Fab card Lisa I think the white looks really good on the kraft and all your colouring is wonderful. I really like the dimension you got with the aperture and the embellishment is super cute as is the image.
Hope the MOT goes well!

Oh so sweet Lisa, they're perfect peeking through the heart. I have never tried colouring on Kraft...I think Prisma pencils are the best for that :)
Hope the car passed.

This is precious, Lisa! Love your coloring with the pencils (I still have to practice w/ mine, lol) - the snow couple looks perfect! Ooh and that snowflake looks cool!
This is a sweetie. I never use my Silhouette either, it's in my "back room" where my spare computer used to be, but that's no excuse now with a laptop! I suppose you just get out of the habit of using things. I love the snowflake, gonna find me some :-) Dee
