The Paper Shelter Challenge #186 - Use Dies and/or Punches

Good morning and welcome to my first post of the year for The Paper Shelter Challenge blog. We took a bit of a break over the Christmas and New Year holidays and have now returned! It's team B's turn this week and our challenge is a nice easy one - use dies and/or punches on your creation!

I used both on mine with a punch around the page set from Martha Stewart and lots of die cuts! I also used the gorgeous Winter Blossom. Isn't she just stunning?! Sorry the photo's a bit dark, but any brighter and the sentiment disappears as the ink is such a pale blue!


This card is also for Inky Chicks Challenge #45 Anything Goes, Fab 'n' Funky's Challenge #242 Something New (I have a new digi stamp, a new sentiment set and a new PATP set that I bought in the Christmas sales!), Deep Ocean's Challenge #95 Winter Dreams (This digi is called Winter Blossom and she has snow and snowflakes around her so I guess this counts as winter!) and 613 Avenue Create's Challenge #106 to use as many different techniques as possible on your card. I only have a few but they are punching, die cuts, handmade flowers, double bow tying, Copic colouring and stamping.
