Dutch Paper Crafts - Marianne Creatables Release

Image
Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! Today I'd like to show you a card I made using Marianne Creatables LR 0241 und LR0242. Darlene from Dutch Paper Crafts has just released these Marianne Design Creatables called Petra's Ovals and Anja's Squares & Labels . As always Darlene has put up a fantastic video to show you samples (this time made by me ;-) ) with these dies! To see all the different dies available please visit the Dutch Paper Crafts blog! Note: Unfortunately I have to put my watermark from now on right on the card and also on part of the colored image (or at least close to it) instead of in one of the corners. Again one of my images was copied from my blog, printed out and re-used as 'own creation' from the thief. Well that happened before as well as the whole cards got copied and put on other blogs and I even saw one of my creations on Etsy one time as sample for a 'made-to-order' item. Awww this really makes me sick! And ...
