Dutch Dare # 18: A christmas card

It's been a crazy week around here. Ron is home for a week now fighting his viral infection. a lot of his muscles are infected and hurt like .... There are no medicine for this, just resting and some painkillers. The girls are behaving as usual.... very busy when they get home from school.

And on top of it they've admitted my mum into the hospital last Tuesday. (It's the 8th or 9th time in a year so we make little jokes about it. For example: On Holliday again, it's a nice hotel you're staying in. And Wauw mum, thank you for waiting untill after my b-day (last year she and my mother in law where both in the hospital a my birthday).

Because I also work every Tuesday- and Wednesday night the days are a few hours short. This morning I wanted to make a post for the new challenge on the Dutch Dare blog and also on mine, what do you think: internet doesn't work, arghhh!!!!

But finally I can catch up with everything.

This weeks challenge over at the Dutch Dare is to make a christmascard.

The DT girls did make some fabulous cards, and there's also a very cute stamp as a prize this week. So make sure to check it out.

Here's the card I made for the Challenge.

It's one in not so traditional christmas colours: Pink and black, but I really love the combination of those colours.

Card details:

Papers: Bazzill Cardstock, DP from DCWV

Stamp: a very cute Magnolia, sentiment made on the computer

Technique: Pro-Markers and stickles on the wings

Embellishments: Flowers from Prima, brad from Dovecraft, Cuttlebugfilefolder Swiss Dots, Nestabillities and the little stars are from a local Dutch Shop called Zeeman.

I really hope the peace and quiet will return pretty soon so I can visit all your great blogs on a daily base, instead once a week.

Have a nice evening,

xoxo Karin
