PFP SKETCH


Hello and welcome to my new followers :)
Well I've had a lovely day today the boy's were off school because of the strikes, so we decided to put the christmas tree and decorations up and while we did it we watched The Polar Express to get us in the mood (i love this film).
Anyway today I have a card to show that I made using this week's Passion For Promarkers fab sketch. I've used one of my fave christmas Tilda images who has been coloured with Promarkers and teamed her with some Me To You Winter Wondrland paper's, sentiment was done on computer,ribbon is Dovecraft,adhesive stones are from hobbycraft and Handsticthing.
Well thanks for stopping by, Have a lovely evening :) xx
