Let it Snow - Let it Snow - Let it Snow...........

The latest challenge over at both Less is More and at Winter Wonderland is Let it Snow.  The Less is More challenge is for a one layer card.  I have used a digi stamp from Imag-e-nation and the sentiment is from a set by Pink Petticoat.  I copied and pasted the winter scene into a Word document and did the same with the sentiment.  I then resized them to the card size I wanted.  I have lightly coloured the image with Flex and Promarkers and then used Stickles Star Dust over areas to create the snow.  I've also dotted some in the sky as snowflakes (not sure if it's come out as well as I hoped in the photo).  I also coloured the letters "o" in the sentiment and again added Stickles.  For the border down the side of the card I used a Martha Stewart punch.

Thanks for dropping by.

Trinitage

Over at Bah Humbug the challenge this week is "Across the Miles".

I have got some Trinitage sheets by La Pashe which I bought from Imag-e-nation a while ago.  They are called Trinitage as apart from the decoupage on the front of the card there are three distinct layers inside the card - so a "Trinity of Decoupage" became Trinitage.

I cut a 14cmx14cm card and covered the front with paper from PM Contemporary Christmas paper pack.  The smaller decoupage was matted and layered onto the front of the card with some ribbon and punched snowflakes.  The sentiment was computer generated and layered using SU punches.

The larger images go inside the card with some card "spacers" inbetween to allow it to stand up and also fold flat.  Some more of the PM paper was put on the base and I added the sentiment which comes on the Trinitage sheet and added some more mirri snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Flippin' Men!!!!

Couldn't resist this stamp set from Imag-e-nation who are selling all the various sets for £4.99 instead of £9.99 at the moment.

I bought the stamp set because it reminded me so much of my DH!!!  Well, most men are the same aren't they??

I started off with an A5 cream card with an oval aperture and used a craft knife to cut the oval out of the second piece of card.  I used d/s tape to stick a piece of acetate in between the two apertures.  I then stamped both the front and back stamps using a Memento inkpad in black and coloured in using ProMarkers.  After cutting out the images carefully I glued the first image on the front of the acetate and then glued the second image onto the back of the acetate being careful to align them perfectly.

I then used Diamond Glaze on the toilet bowl and cistern and his pint of beer.  On the rolls of toilet paper at the top right of the card I gold embossed onto cream card and then gold embossed onto tissue paper which was then glued on top of the card with the bottom "sheet" left to flap in the wind.............  The sentiment and "Do not Disturb" sign were also gold embossed on cream card.

Thanks for looking.
