"Winter Wishes"

 

A while  ago, I came across a beautiful image from Radiant Artistry. I haven't looked back since ! You can discover their work on Ko-fi. I can create designs with such  vibrant colouring. Please take a look! I used this super fun image and coloured her up with pencils. A fab die cut and sentiment finish the card.

I am excited to announce that I have joined the team as a Colourist. Working with these images is a delight!

Card '"Leyna Shopping"

  May I share this card with you today?

I used the pretty "Leyna Shopping" from the Le Olivie collection to be seasonal, I love it. 

After colouring with markers and pencils, I used Snowflake die to frame along with a pretty paper to create this card. A sentiment and gems finish the card.

Do take a look at the All New Mirtillamente Craft Online Store. You will be blown away by all there is to see there!

Merry Christmas all! xx

"Merry Christmas"

 Recently I was a winner at A Perfect Time To Craft! Lucky me! I chose the design above as one of my prizes. Isn't it just fabulous? It's called Christmas stocking with cute animals. There are many more designs on the website.

I made my BG with an embossed pice of red card rubbed over with wax. After building up the layers this makes for a very lovely Christmas card.
