X-mas pocket card...

This is the first pocket card I've made... I love it!!!




I won't be able to make the bookmark I planned to go with this card today though as I am too tired now and will be going to bed...

As I had been totally satisfied with the result of this pocket card, I did add some stickles to it the next day. Here's how it looks like now:



I also made the bookmark for that X-mas pocket card today. As I wanted them to look alike, I used the same stamp and colours.


And now, both together:





Stamp: "Hedgehog with present" from Penny Black transparent set Critter Party
Ink pad in black and red
Colours: Polychromos from Faber Castell
Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities, Magnolia Doohickey
Punch: snowflake border from Martha Stewart
Paper: squares from Crafts-Too
Shaped scissors
Pearls, ribbon, stickles, plain papers and cardstock from my stash.


I am entering the card in the following challenges:

penny b friends saturday challenge 177 - gold and presents
sweet stampin challenge - gorgeously gingham
catch the bug challenge - pocket challenge
take time for you challenge 54 - Anlässe (Geburtstag in der Weihnachtszeit)

  14. Hi Melanie: This is beautiful.....NEW into this world? WOW....you would NOT know it!!!!! It is fantastic. Both a tag and card? I love the red and I love the swirls. Your image is SO precious and it sure would have taken some patience and time to color that. Way to go on that. The entire card unit is beautiful Melanie. Good luck with our challenge at FOREVER FRIENDS and at all your challenges. Divine Love, Samara.
