I'm here, albeit a little late, with my DT card for this week's sketch challenge over on 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown The sketch we would like you to follow - keeping the theme of circles is Here is my card The front is cut away to make a 'Kick Stand' card. I used my Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the matching die set - Floral Frames. I went with traditional green and red along with a touch of gold - a few flat backed gems add a finishing touch. Thanks for looking - see you soon xx

I think I'm actually going to be on time for a challenge for a change! Today at  Make My Monday  the lovely Suzi B would like to see SHABBY CHIC cards and projects. I'm not a huge fan of this but I must say I did have fun making this card - take a look I've used a couple of retired items - the dress form die cut and the ribbon flowers, and the pink ribbon was some I've had in my stash for ages but the rest is Stampin' Up. Daydream Medallions, Kraft, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz card stock, leaves from Kinda Eclectic and the scallops were made by stamping and punching loads of little hearts from the Kind and Cosy stamp set - they were attached using Tombow glue to the underside of the card stock. Don't forget to pop over to the blog to take a look at all the other DT cards - there's loads more shabby-ness over there! Bye for now x
