Another week has flown past and we see another new challenge at this weeks LOTV Challenge Blog. The theme this week is Lets G0 Dotty for Circles.
Meet James the Bear, he has been coloured with Prisma Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits. Cut with my Nesties and edged with a Gold Adirondaak Dabber. Yep, I'm still hooked on Glimmer Mists and have used lots of the Gold on this card. The papers are V & A and Secret Crafter. SU Punch for the circles and a Marianne Die for the Doily shape behind the image.
I thought while I'm making so many christmas cards at the moment I may as well put one to use and made this from my youngest to her Dad this year. Its going in the suitcase as we have just booked 2 weeks in Mauritius over the Christmas Period. This will be our 3rd Christmas there and we stay at the same resort every time. 2 weeks later, me and hubby are off to Las Vegas for 5 nights. Our house sale had fallen threw and we cancelled our summer holiday to the caribbean so at least now we have something to look forward to!
Anyway, I do hope you can join in with this weeks challenge, the rest of the DT have gorgeous examples and we'd love to stop by your blog and see what you've made.
