A windy day!

Hi Friends

Today's card features a very windy day where the poor girl's umbrella has blown inside out! Been there, done that! LOL!

The card details:

1. I dabbed "Peacock Feathers" DOX ink onto a "Petals" embossing folder and spritzed it with water, then laid my piece of card on top to pick up the inky goodness! Once removed from the folder, I dabbed at the card to remove some of the ink so it wasn't too heavy.
2. The Windy Day image (by Katzelkraft) was stamped with VFC Twilight ink, as was the SU sentiment. 
3. To colour the image, I used a waterbrush and the following DOX inks: Peacock Feathers (coat & umbrella); Uncharted Mariner (coat shading); Spiced Marmalade (stockings & scarf) and Iced Spruce (hair).

Sarn on Sunday!

Hi Playmates

It's Sunday morning and time for new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND where Miss Di is in charge for the next fortnight.

Here's my homework:

A6 card

The pile of snippets I made the card from.
Some were added inside the card!

It's been a chilly week in the UK, so Di and I have been busy in the Playground Treehouse - making copious mugs of hot chocolate for everyone. Extra marshmallows ARE available, plus, if you "nod me the wink" I'll see what kind of moonshine is hiding in my satchel to give you an extra boost! LOL! x

Grumpy Penguin Christmas Cards

Hi Friends

Sorry, but I have a bit of a Christmas fest going on in this blog post, so you'd best grab a nice mug of hot chocolate and settle in!

These Christmas cards were made with the wonderful Katzelkraft "Grumpy Penguins" stamp set. 

I'm entering the single card (below) to the CHRISTMAS CRAFT CREATIONS challenge where they have a snippets theme going on this month. However, if you look further down this post, there are even MORE penguin cards using up those ever-increasing snippets!

A6 card for the CCC Challenge with the penguin snippet added,
together with snowflake snippets.

To create my cards, I first gathered together a few of my MANY white snippet strips (left over from cutting my own card bases). Then I stamped a load of penguins on them.

White snippets ready for colouring & fussy cutting

All coloured and cut out ready to go on cards.

Once that was done, I made a few inky backgrounds then glued the penguins and snowflakes on top.

Only the penguins are snippets on this trio of cards.

Had LOADS of fun making these, and I still have a few penguins left to add to more cards when the mood is upon me!
