Snowball Fight

Hello lovely peeps

For today's card I've used one of the old LOTV art pad images featuring Jack, Patch and Puss.

Patch and Puss shaker card

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are having a great weekend.

The lovely Evelin was our hostess for the evening at cardmaking club on Thursday and we made shaker cards.

I had printed several papers from the Perfect Pair collection by Nitwit onto 250gsm card stock so I used a scalloped circle die to cut an aperture in one of them. I taped a square of acetate behind this and then stamped on one of the Tiny Phrases greetings by Woodware with Black Memento ink.

Next I layered up a 7x7" card with a couple more of the Nitwit papers and cut flowers from a third design to use as embellishments.

The image behind is from one of the retired Lili of the Valley Art Pads called Jack, Patch & Puss. After putting a double layer of foam tape all the way around the image I added sequins from my stash and some pink Stix2 beads into the 'well' before placing the acetate frame over the top.

I started on a second card after our cake interval (chocolate, yummy) but I didn't get to finish it so I'll show you that one later in the week after it's completed.

Skating Fun

Hello lovely peeps

Another snowy acetate card today. My texture paste came out a bit bumpy this time but as I'd already folded the acetate I couldn't use the reverse side. Hey ho.

This time I've used a rubber stamp - Skating Fun from LOTV (retired).
I've coloured it in with a mix of Promarkers and Graph'Its

Fur: Ice Grey 1-4,
Bunny's Ears: Budding Rose
Scarf: 9504, 5245
Ice: 9100
Outline: 7105

The 'ice rink' has been covered with Glossy Accents and I sprinkled Glamour Dust on it while it was wet.
I stamped the greeting along the top and then cut a wavy line with my craft knife to match. The stars are cut from blue glitter card with an X-Cut die. The silver striped card is from the 'Silent Night' paper pad by First Editions/Trimcraft
