Pink and black Christmas card

I did not have much time to make this card, so I kept it simple. The background paper (single piece, brand unknown) is – again – from the large stack of papers I bought some years ago. All I did was mat it on black and pink paper and on to some white cardstock, add a nestability with this cute, freebie Squiggle stamp, some ribbon and a punched tag. And of course I added some pearls with my Viva Perlen-Pen. I used a little distress ink (Worn lipstick) on the tag and nestie. The sentiment is computer-generated. The image was coloured with what I had available: for the bright pink of the ribbon and flower I used my sticker markers and I used my Derwent Coloursoft pencils for the rest of the image. Didn't have any pinks, lol. Besides, I wanted the pink ribbon to stand out. I have finally treated myself to a set of the brand-new Spectrum Noir pens. Cannot wait until they arrive, hopefully within the next few days.


I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Ooh La La Creations – Oh Christmas!

    Hoi Marianne

    Bedankt voor je bezoekje aan mijn blog.
    Ik begreep je berichtje niet helemaal, ik denk dat je een vraag beantwoord hebt die iemand anders gesteld heeft? ;-)))
    Leuk te zien dat je op Kreta woont en ook scrapt! Ben je al lang weg uit Nederland en kom je er nog wel eens terug. Ik vraag me dan altijd af hoe jij aan je scrapspulletjes komt? Kennen ze in Griekenland ook scrapwinkels?
    Je blog ziet er mooi uit, prachtige kaarten! Ik kom nog wel eens bij je kijken denk ik...;-)
    Misschien vind je het leuk om af en toe eens mee te doen met onze challenges van Dutch Card Lovers of Karen's Doodles. De links vind je op mijn blog in de sidebar.

    Groetjes Ellen
