It's been like living in an oven here and my snippets card took a few goes - I wanted to stamp the background but literally, no sooner did I stamp the background, the VersaFine ink dried before I could even utter the words 'embossing powder'! And so, in the interests of my sanity, you have a background paper to the rescue:
 |
| Hooray - I remembered my snippets this time! |
I used:
- 5.75" x 5.75" square white card blank, side opening
- a piece of the same card stock, trimmed to 5.5" x 5.5" for the top layer
- then used a 'The Works' (discontinued) 'oval stitched die' to cut an oval aperture into the top layer
- added a piece of patterned paper, slightly trimmed from full size. so not a snippet, behind the oval aperture using a glue pen - it's from a lovely pack called 'Sea Wave' from Amazon
- die cut the unbranded 'sailing boat' using snippets of brown, red and white card and then glued the sailing boat and sails in place
- added three white seagulls using a Gummiapan 'Seagulls' die then a glue pen - I love this set of dies!
- next came the Clarity sentiment sticker, which I particularly love. I stuck a sliver of card underneath the part of the sticker that overlapped onto the oval aperture to keep it level
- added the whole completed scenic panel to the card base using narrow strips of foam pad - finis!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Allsorts Challenge #827 HERE - under 'Anything Goes'
- Darnell's NBUS Challenge #76 HERE - the backing paper and sailboat were having a first outing
Dudley Pupdate: It's super hot here and we're all suffering. Len took on board an idea from one of you lovely playmates and sprayed Dudley with a fine mist from what was my ironing water spray bottle. We half thought he would freak out and the first time sent him back into the house like a whirling dervish! However, over time he's actually begun to enjoy his 'spritz sessions ' and still racing around for a short time before flopping with a huge smile in front of the closest fan! My new nickname for him - 'Little Pocket Rocket!!
Remember, the results from Sarn's Challenge #509 are now published in the Snippets Playground HERE.
Do come and play with us in the Playground - plenty of cold drinks and ice lollies are available - it's meltingly HOT here right now! Don't be surprised if Dudley takes a flying leap into the paddling pool with you girls! He'll be naked as a Jay Bird! Oopsie, I didn't get time to knit his cossie!!
Love as always, Dudley and yours truly,
