Pink Gem DT card.....

Hi Everyone,
My goodness it's so cold here the fog hasn't lifted all day,not a day for being out and about,but needs must so this morning I've been to make sure my Mum and Dad were alright always worries me as we get to the cold weather in case of a fall,then it was home for a quick cuppa and then to hospital to visit,no change with Anne-Marie and Betty has started her 1st lot of chemo....Anyway with time being at a premium at the moment I made my Pink Gem Designs DT card on Thursday to post on Friday,but Thursday night when I was in the bath my neighbour came to the door to see if I had a special Christmas card she could buy Hubby showed her to my box but sitting on the desk was my DT card,yep you've guessed he sold my DT card and I hadn't taken any pics so here is version two.........


I have used one of the newChristmas digi sentiments over at Pink Gem Designs enlarged it then put one of the new Christmas images in the middle it's penguin with pudding,I've coloured the image with my polychromos pencils and blended with sansador and then the outside is coloured with promarkers,I've glittered the front of the penguin,the top of the pudding and the stars around the outside...I've used gems for the snowflakes around the penguin....I've put a piece of white card through a snowflake embossing folder layered it on to red card.....and then picked out the middle of the snowflakes with a gem..and I've finished off with a ribbon bow......

What a beautiful card Mandy- bet you said a few things to your husband! I worry about my folks too, but have to settle for phoning as they are so far away; and doing internet shopping via the phone!
