Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #3

This is my DT card for challenge #3 on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. This week it is a theme set by the lovely KIM which was "Blue, white & a little bit of snowlfake!"

My card has paper from Pink Petticoat with image from Sugar Nellie (from Funky Kits), coloured with promarkers (from Secret Crafter). To make it a little different I have stamped onto pearl card but the photo does not due it justice - better IRL. Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder used for bottom of card with gems and ribbon to finish.

Another 2 candles

Two more candles with Sugar Nellie Stamps (Funky Kits) and coloured with promarkers (Secret Crafter) with Round Christmas Greeting stamp (Cuddly Buddly). Ribbon, gems and brads from my stash.

Bought 10 candles today from Ikea - bargain at 99p each!

I finally had a go!!!!

I have seen so many wonderful candles whilst blog-hopping I thought it was time I had a go!

The tutorial can be found here!

My image is "Penpal" Sugar Nellie stamp coloured with promarkers. Ribbon, gems and jewels from my stash.

Really pleased with this as my first attempt and I see myself making many more!
