I used:
- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank, tent style
- a Penny Black Masterpiece 'Birds in Snow' image from one of their Christmas themed sets ('Home for Christmas' to be exact)
- die cut the image using a die from Hunkydory's 'Extended Hexagons' then backed it with a die cut layer using the next size up hexagon die, in pearlescent pale blue - cut from a snippet. For a change I used the die in landscape style
- trimmed a snippet of pearlescent gold card for the back layer on the card
- trimmed a snippet of 'script' paper from LOTV's 'Frosty Christmas' paper pad then adhered a snippet/band of blue 'snowflake' paper from the same pad across the centre and trimmed the edges to size
- glued the gold card and patterned layer onto the card front
- added the image panel to the card front, using thin foam sticky pads
- glued a snippet strip of the snowflake paper to the back flap of the envelope- finished!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenge:
- Allsorts Challenge #849 HERE - under 'Anything Goes'
- Christmas Kickstart Challenge #110 HERE - 'Season's Tweetings'
Dudley Pupdate: Another mixed week weatherwise, but more and more Dudley loves to do a little spot of sunshine worshipping, when it shows up! The other day, when it was time for his brush and comb session, Len took him into the sunny garden first for a wee. The little monkey had spotted the grooming table standing in the hallway - so he promptly lay on his back on the lawn for a snooze! I suspect one eye was slighty open though! Luckily he gave up after a few minutes with a shake and a sigh and headed back indoors to meet his doom. He certainly knows most of the tricks of the trade.
The results from Sarn's Challenge #531 are now published in the Snippets Playground HERE.
Love from Dudley and yours truly
Another beautiful PB Masterpiece. Lovely shape of die you used too. And another ready for the big day.
ReplyDeleteWho could blame Dudley for wanting a bit of sun?! Xxx
Love the delicate colours on this pretty card and the long hexagon shape makes for added interest. Pleased to hear that Dudley is enjoying the sunshine even if he is using it as an excuse to dodge his grooming session.
