Sandi's Snowman

Hello!

Yay - it's Friday!!

Firstly, I'd like to welcome Peg Pearce, my latest G+ follower! I'm so glad you joined me!

I made a card to play along at the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge. 

The free digi this month is from Sandi's Samples and it's called 65Snowman.

Here is my card:

I used Spectrum Noir markers to colour the image and cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. I felt there was too much white space, so for the background to the image I added swirls and dots with a Quikie glue pen and added iridescent glitter. The snowman's bob on his cap and the poinsettia also have a touch of glitter.

I printed some papers from the Merry and Bright set by Imagine That. The snowman was mounted onto deep pink bauble paper and the background was made by layering pink snowflakes on top of pink bauble paper. The centre of some of the snowflakes were glittered. The edges of the papers were inked in Memento Rosebud. 

Pale pink organza ribbon was attached at the bottom of the card. The image was mounted on foam pads. A sentiment was printed and cut with a Pierced Banner die and this too was added on foam pads. A bow and some crystal gems were added as a finishing touch. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

xoxo

Micemas Post

Hello crafty friends!

Another Christmas card today.  Let's hope I'm on a roll now!

I was a winner at The Outlawz!

 I made it using a stamp from Di's Digis. The stamp is Let's hope I'm on a roll called Micemas Post!

Before I show my card, let me tell you .... I joined The Outlawz, which is a ning site for paper crafters. (Thanks to the gals on the Cat Lover's Blog Hop for introducing me to this!) For those, like me, who haven't heard of it, they have daily challenges and one is called the Progressive Freebie Challenge whereby if you sign up you get a free stamp (this month's is the gorgeous Micemas Post). Once you've made your project you link it on their challenge page and that automatically qualifies you to get the next month's stamp. There's loads of inspiration to be found on the site too, so why not join?

So, here is my card:

It's a pretty simple design, but I like it! 
I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir markers and added iridescent glitter to the snowy parts. I used a shaped die to cut the image, the mat and the card itself. The background paper is actually glitter card from Trim Craft and this red dotty one is definitely my favourite! The image is raised on foam pads. The poinsettia is die cut from white card and inked to make the leaves and petals. Crystal gems were added to the centre of the flower. The sentiment was computer generated, die cut and popped on foam pads.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a lovely weekend.
xoxo
