Good evening all, hope you've enjoyed your day and had lovely weather like we have. Unfortunately I had some dreaded housework to do so didn't get much time to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
Yesterday we had to go visit FIL and hubby suggested we eat at a farmshop enroute - I didn't need asking twice after all they have a craft department (guess hubby forgot this minor detail lol). Managed to treat myself to some new stamps (those girls at Bah! Humbug! made me do it), a distress ink pad and some glitter spray. Got one set of stamps out to play today and after seven failed attempts at stamping a decent image I stopped being frugal and mounted the set onto easy mount et voila I ended up with this:
Stamp is from Creative Expressions and has been stamped with onyx black versafine and embossed with clear embossing powder then mounted onto a black mat. Used black and white stardream to cut out the snowflake die, layered it up and mounted it onto a springy thing (so it moves) and attached to the gingham ribbon.
Coming from a family of male "Toon" supporters I don't think it'll be hard to choose a recipient for this card.
Challenges entered:
Bah! Humbug! - something new
Less is More - things that move (snowflake)
Winter Wonderland - cards for men/boys
Christmas Stampin - non traditional colours
CHNC - anything goes
Many thanks for all the lovely comments you leave, I do read and appreciate them all.
