InStyle Stamps December Colour Challenge

This month InStyle Stamps is embracing the cold weather and going with a nice cool color palette to challenge you with. Shades of purple, silver, and white plus a little bit if sparkle....so elegant! Take a look at our color inspiration photo:

Here's my project ...

I made a tag for a scarf I have made for my Gran for Christmas.  I used a fab digi image Jana, how warm does she look!!!  I coloured her in using my promarkers (colours at the bottom), and then cut her out, before glamour dusting her fur.  She is matted onto white cardstock embossed using a CB snowflakes folder.  The tag is made using a Marianne Creatible die, and the dp is MME, with gorgeous sparkly dots on it. 
I surprised myself and managed to knit the scarft with very few mistakes and undoing involved.  My Gran will be proud of me as she taught me to knit many, many many moons ago LOL!!

As it is a tag for a Christmas pressie I am going to be cheeky and put it in for these challenges ...
