(I know the schools are off but a little me time is good)

This week our theme for team one has been picked by Lisa and she has picked

Going Dotty( no not the mad Dotty)

so lets see some spots could be your DP like mine or ribbon or embellishments. Show us your take on it. remember you have to use our Medium of colouring so check those rules not many I promise

You wouldnt want to miss the fab prize from our sponsor

So here is my card for your inspiration but dont forget the teams makes be sure to check them out. They are so different

I went with a unused stamp but sadly this is very old from Sugar Nellie. (do you remember them)

It is called Snowy Loved. How bad is that that it has never been inked before.

Coloured with Promarkers

Sentiment stamp  came with a magazine

Ribbon from stash

Dies are Sizzix and not sure who the snowflake is I seem to have lost the package

Fussy cut my image

Dp snowflake paper is Pure Frozen. I love that the design of all the snowflakes are purely dots.

Mirri card for some shine

Well that is another for my box have lots more to make and think I might get away with a normal stamp for this one.
