SRM sentiment sticker, Digital image - Mia Skating by Jane Beljo, pp - 

Cosmo Cricket, stickles, crackle medium and glossy accents - Ranger,

It seems so strange making Holiday cards in August! but that's the challenge over on Paperplay Challenges this week.

We are very kindly sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.
The random winner will receive a $15 gift voucher for the online store.

I used a wonderful digi "Mia - Skating" by Jane Beljo for this card.  Layered and cut cardstock with my Big Shot for the background.  I then used a cloud die by Papertrey ink to create a glittery cloud - "full of snow".

I first used crackle accents and added peewee glitter to it.  After it dried the glitter was still very "loose" so I added a layer of glossy accents on top to "seal" it.  Also added a layer of glossy on top of the stickled heart on Mia's t-shirt and ice skates.

Welcome Baby

As you know I am a huge fan of Jane's Doodles and purchased this image over on Squigglefly a while ago and have made a few cards with it.  When I saw the DT use it on Jane's Doodles new blog - I reprinted and got colouring.

It is such a fun image to colour/paper piece etc.  I had to make a baby boy card and personalised it be running the patterned paper through the printer before running it through my Big Shot and machine stitching.

I was going to add ribbon/buttons etc. but decided to let the image and wonderful pp colours do the work.  So in the end I just layered it on a white watercolour card blank.  I added Ranger black enamel on the eyes after colouring for added dimension.  I added layers of torn paper including kraft into the card and matted/layered on kraft which I cut by hand.

Challenges

Squigglefly - Kraftastic

This card was similar but I didn't machine stitch and added an SRM sentiment sticker - keeping it in my stash as I think it could be used for a boy or girl.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you have a wonderful day.
