For my card I have used the lovely sketch provided by SKETCH SATURDAY 🙂
Sarah is coloured with Distress inks and the papers I’ve used are by MME 29th Street Market.
Made the pin with some spare beads, tied some organza ribbon and used the SU! tab punch a lot!
Thanks for the sketch, and thanks for looking..
Hugs,
A Lil' bit of me...

Prachtige kaart weer Marlene. En wat een gaaf begin van de maand december! Ik ding graag mee naar deze mooie stempel! Wij vieren dan geen kerst met cadeautjes maar wel Sinterklaas. Op 1 staat de grote doos met Prisma Colour potloden maar ik denk niet dat Sint die voor mij mee brengt dit jaar. Maar ik zal ook erg blij zijn met Nestabilities!
Warme groet, Renata
