Duo Challenge #12

Hey!

Vandaag heb ik een verplichte rustdag. Heb erge last van m'n linkerarm en heb vanaf vorige week donderdag al teveel gedaan. Mooi de tijd om aan duo challenge #12 te beginnen voor annette's creafarm duo challenge blog. Iedere maand kun je je inschrijven voor de challenge en krijg je het patroon opgestuurd en heb je een maand de tijd om de opdracht in te leveren. Als je je opgeeft verplicht je je wel om deel te nemen, omdat je anders uitgesloten wordt voor volgende challenges.

Voor de maand december kregen we een leuk patroon van een kaart in de vorm van een huis. Ik heb er een sneeuwrandje uit de losse pols geknipt en op de bovenkant van de schoorsteen en langs de dakrand geplakt. Verder heb ik een winters patroonkarton gebruikt voor de voorkant en een lief afdrukje van tilda van de laatste nieuwe serie van magnolia.

Bedankt voor het langskomen op mijn blog en ik wens je een hele fijne dag!

Liefs,
Kitty

Under the image I adhered a piece of gauze compress, some felt snowflakes and a dutch sentiment. Think i'm gonna adhere some silver gems in the center of the snowflake to finish it. If I do so I'll post a new photo in this message ;-)
