Snow on Snow

Hi my crafting friends, thank you for looking at my posts, it really is appreciated. I am 882 on the list as I posted this lol! Lets hope I start to go in the right direction soon!!

Sorry Ang, its the cold snow again lol! Tomorrow is better Promise!

Haven't we had some bad weather of late, hope none of you have had floods.

Another Snowman card for you today. I started with my basic White 8 x 8 card and matted this with some Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Pastels card. With a sheet of Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Silver I painted over the top with Tim Holtz Distress Inks Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac  using them as water colors just painting a wash over the top of the card. Once dry I ran this through the Crafters Companion Embossing Folder Snowflakes.

With a strip of Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Silver I ran this through the same Snowflakes Embossing Folder and matted it onto a strip of Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Pastels card. I wrapped this round the center of my card and fixed it at the back then matted it onto my card.

Out of Create and Craft Pearlescent card I die cut three circles, two from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Majestic Elements Exquisite Circles and one from Spellbinders Nestabilities Splendid Circles, on each of these I matted an image from Crafters Companion The Snowman & Snowdog CD-Rom. I attached these onto the card as seen.

I took the sentiment from Crafters Companion Snowman Cardmaking Kit 2012 and stuck this onto the strip of card on the left side.

There you have the finished card. Quick and easy to make.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx

 Morning my crafting friends, hope this finds you all well? Lovely weather for Ducks we are having (Sorry Ang no pun honest!).

I have made todays card for a friends birthday that was yesterday, she loved it of course!

I tried to keep the colours of the card in with the colours in the image so that it hopefully, did not look to much. I did not start off with the intention of framing the image with the flowers but it ended up with it!

I started off with a sheet of Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card -Gold and folded it in half to form my base card.
On top of this I matted some Blue card from Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card-Pastels that I had first run through the Anna Griffin Embossing Folder-Pirouette.

I printed the image from Crafters Companion Paintbox Poppets Collection onto some Matt Photo Paper and put this to one side.

I had some Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lattice Swirls in Yellow card in my stock so I placed these on the top and bottom of my card, using Foam Pads I attached the image in the center of these as seen.

Using bits of card that I had from Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card-Pastels I die cut several flowers from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die-lites Blossoms One, Two, Three and Four, stuck a few together, added a gem from Create and Craft Iridescent Gems in the center of those that needed it and attached them round the edge of the image.


 On a piece of Centura card I stamped my senitment from Creative Expressions Un-mounted Stamps-Treasured Memories with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Victorian Velvet, inking through the die with Victorian Velvet then heat embossed it using Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Pearl Lustre. I then die cut with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Back to Basics Tags and attached this to the card with Pinflare Silicone Glue so it formed a slight arch. I placed this in the top right corner.

There you have the finished card, I hope you like it?
