I'm Excited!

I'm so CHUFFED!

Not only is today my BIRTHDAY I found out this morning

that my card won 2nd prize in its category at the Royal Easter Show!

I made one like this for my son a while back, so this one may look familiar

however, this is only the second time I've entered a card in the show.

I started with a leftover piece of black card that had been smooshed through a puddle of Distress Ink which looked a bit like the milky way in a night sky.

I tore a page from a book and stamped and embossed 'torn paper' in the centre of it.  

The centre was cut out, with the black background placed underneath with pop dots.

The TARDIS was stamped and embossed, coloured and cut out.

The door panels are done with Glossy Accents and although you can't see it in the photo,

the windows are shimmery.

The TARDIS is attached to the card with a wobble thingy

which means it's interactive.

The sentiment is computer generated.

 I guess I'll have to go to the Easter Show to see my card first hand,

what a great way to celebrate my birthday!

To say I'm excited, is an understatement.

Happy Crafting!

 

 

You put a Spell on Me

Another day passes ......

another birthday to be celebrated!

The birthday in question, was a few weeks ago,

however, as my blogging is a little behind,

here is the card I made with a Harry Potter theme

[better late than never, eh?]

Hermoine

Ron

 Harry

They are, of course, dressed in the Gryffindor colours.

The panels along the top and bottom of the card are foil papers in red and gold.

The stamps are "Wizard Friends" by Kindred Stamps

and coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

Happy Crafting!

 

F is for Fantasy

I'm quite excited to share with you 

that Agatha Witch, who took centre stage in my 'P is for Pink Halloween'

[see my previous post]

was crowned Queen of Snark.

 In so being crowned, I was invited to be a guest of the new theme

F is for Fantasy - #122

Using a 2 1/2" circle as a mask, I blended 'broken china' and 'wilted voilet' Distress Inks,
then removing the mask continued to blend 'twisted citron' to create an orb.  I replaced the mask briefly and lightly spritzed the card with water.

I stamped all the images in the following order : the halo of stars, the field mouse, the gnarled tree, the fairy, the sentiment and lastly, the birds.

To add a little more interest, I added touches of silver Gelly Roll pen to the fairy's wings
and the dots between the stars.
[you can just see them in the different angle of the card]





It is always fun to play along with the 
Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers
so why not join in the fun?
You too, might be crowned Queen of Snark!
