Something Fishy

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday, Guylaine has chosen #253 Somthing Fishy. I so love this title, there are many ways to include fish in our craft world, I think the design team have shown this in their inspirational cards. Please visit the blog to see them. 

For my card, I started with a white 6" card, I folded the front page back, to create a Fold back card or maybe called a 'Z' fold card. I mounted black card on the half piece and the back page. The following papers/card added are from a Hunkydory Sporting Silhouettes design kit. I added 3 small square gems to complete. I hope you enjoy the challenge. 

 

Include the word 'Merry'.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin our Sparkles Christmas Challenges for the month of June. Do you feel as thought the year is going SO fast? They say as you get older the years go faster. Melanie has chosen for our challenge #173 Include the word 'Merry' on your project. To see the wonderful inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white 6" scallop edge card. From the long strip of Snowmen on the 'Snow People' stamp by Woodware, I masked off the lower two and stamped the upper three. I drew a rectangle around the stamped image and cut out all the white background, leaving only the snowmen. These were coloured with Promarkers. Lots of Sparkly Glamour dust was added. There is a blue insert to provide a colourful background, which can be see throught the gaps in the panel. The sentiment including the word Merry for the challenge is a die cut.

These are all decoupaged with 2d- 3d  foam strips. Silver Stickles glitter has been added to the thorax of each of them.
