This card was sent to my friend Claudia and was also published in the latest issue of the Whimsy Inspirations Magazine . The image is 'Angel Gwen' from Some Odd Girl' and has been colored with alcohol markers (Copics and ShinHan). Sorry I did not write down the colors this time. Papers are from an older MME collection called 'Merry & Bright'. Sentiment is from the 'Tis the Season Notables 5' set and cut out using the 'Notables 5' die. Here's a closer look on the image: Again, wishing you all wonderful holidays and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! I'll see you all back here on January 1st on our Whimsy Review Day .

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! Today I'd like to show you a card I made using Marianne Creatables LR 0241 und LR0242. Darlene from Dutch Paper Crafts has just released these Marianne Design Creatables called Petra's Ovals and Anja's Squares & Labels . As always Darlene has put up a fantastic video to show you samples (this time made by me ;-) ) with these dies! To see all the different dies available please visit the Dutch Paper Crafts blog!
