DT Totally Gorjuss # 103: Pastel Christmas

It's saturday again and time for another challenge here at Totally Gorjuss. We have a treat for you this time. We're simply asking you to dig out your christmas colours and make us a Pastel christmas card. That is not difficult at all, unless you hate pastel of course;) But who hates that?? tehehe...

We have a wonderful sponsor for you as well. It's LOTV this time and you get a £10 to spend in their store. That is a fabolous price... Wish I could join in;) Without further ado, here's my card:

I've used one of the new LOTV christmas stamps for this card, and o'boy I couldn't believe how lovely she looks in pastel colours;)

My recipe:

Pink and blue bazill

DP from Basic Grey: Eskimo Kisses

Lace is a leftover

Roses from WOC and storyteller (got a bit of crystal stickles on)

half pearls from kort & godt

Diecuts: circles and scalloped circles

Crushed velvet lily white flock

All edges are distressed and coloured with antique linen distress ink

My stamp is from LOTV (as I said earlier) and her name is "Shine a light". She's coloured with these promarkers: dusky pink, ivory, dusky rose, baby pink, pale pink, putty, buttercup, primrose, marsh green, moss, pear green, sandstone, ruby, denim blue, tea green, grey green and cool grey 1.

I'll hope you all come by our challenge blog and see all the beautiful projects my teammates have made for you!!

'Stitchy Bear Stamps was created when a good friend of mine Sue from Beary Dust Stamps and I (Stitchy) were selling our products in the same store. One day we got an unexpected email saying that the store was shutting down and when we went to the store, poof it was gone...So, after the dust cleared and several emails later, Stitchy Bear Stamps was born. We gathered all the other creator's from the original store and away we went. It has been quite a learning experience but none the less we are growing everyday with new fabulous creators. I have always believed when God closes one door another Bigger and Better one opens ;)... Thank you all who have read our little story, I do hope you enjoyed ;) stitchy aka stitchy stamps."
