Well I hope you all had a good Christmas and if you were good, got lots of lovely new stash! I must have been very good this year - lots of new stash, which I've been dying to try out, but haven't had much crafting time.
The theme this fortnight at Fashionable Stamping is 'Susrprise Us' and my surprise was that I had a couple of hours on Friday night to make my DT card, but unfortunately, it has rained since (for a change) and I've really struggled to take a decent picture.
I've used new Katzelkraft stamps, so a good excuse to go all girly and pink!
The lady is stamped in Onyx Black Versamark, coloured with Tattered Rose Distress Marker, and the background is DI's. The frame , which was cut with a Nesti, was coloured with Victorian Velvet and then heat embossed with Silver Pearl EP.
The background is a mixture of Katzelcraft and Inkylicious stamps, which were stamped with a Memento black inkpad for a slightly faded look.
My fabulous teamies were a bit more organised than me and will really surprise you with their creations, so please pop over here to be 'surprised'!!!
And don't forget - we are sponsored by Marina of Cottage Crafts who will be offering the winner a €7 gift cert to spend in the online store.
Before I go, I would like to wish you all a Very Happy New Year, and hoping that 2013 will be a lot sunnier so we can all take good photographs!!!
I am going to enter this in:

As always, an elegant creation and beautiful colours.
I can relate, I have been unable to photograph anything - today was the first and not looked at the results yet but certainly not holding my breath! It's far from ideal, isn't it?!!!
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2013.
