So here is my DT card for this week, I have based my card on the song...'Please Mr Postman' by the Beatles
I have used one of Penny Blacks New Christmas Stamps. The image has been coloured with Copics, and I stamped the Ted & Hedgie again and 3d them to add a bit of interest, the snow effect on the top of the Postbox is created with Flowersoft & Glamour Dust. The icicle border was created with a punch.

Sketch Saturday #76 - My Sketch

It's DT week at Sketch Saturday this week and this time it is my turn to create the sketch.

I have to admit that I am not very gifted in the sketch department! LOL I would much rather follow sketches than design them and I really don't know how Jo does it every week!

We are joined this week by our Guest Designer for November Bev who always creates the most stunning cards and I am so thrilled that she has agreed to join us...thanks sweetie X

So onto my DT card for this week. I just love this sweet image...you know how I love my mices! LOL

Once again the image has been coloured with Copics, I have used my Fiskars border punch to create the lacey border and I have stuck the waste down both sides of the card. The mistletoe is a die cut and I have added stick on pearls for the berries.
