Good morning peeps, and welcome to my new followers :)
The lovely Nikky Hall from Polkadoodles is launching two fabulous new Stamp & CD collections on Create and Craft* this morning at 10 o'clock. The two sets that launched in March sold like hot cakes and I expect these will do the same, so tune in early :)
* If you watch Create and Craft on Freeview don't forget that they moved channels yesterday from 36 to 23. You might need to retune your Freeview box.
I was incredibly honoured to be asked by Nikky to make some samples for the show and this is one of my favourite makes. My inspiration for this card was a red bubble paper on the Little Kingdom CD - I'd cut out the white holes with my Craft Robo for another project and thought how much it looked like cheese - the holey kind, that is.
I still had my Robo software open so I cut the same pattern out of a lime coloured paper from the CD.
I then had a hunt around the digis on the CD to see if I could spot anything that looked like a mouse. I found petals that I could use for ears, plus the head/body, little circles for the eyes (I just needed to add black centres) and part of a flourish that looked like a tail. Result!
I dragged everything into CraftArtist to crop the parts I wanted and resize, then assembed the mouse and printed off a group of them in the bottom right hand corner of a piece of Super Smooth card.
This lovely sentiment from the CD contains all the letters I need for my greeting. How lucky is that?
'Life takes you to unexpected places.
Love brings you Home'
Of course, I had to go with 'mice day' instead of 'nice day' - any opportunity for a bit of pun :D
I mounted the letters on Kraft card to make them stand out a bit more.
