My puppy image, accessories and sentiment are from
Mama Elephant: Playful Pups with the trees from Winnie & Walter:
It's a Wonderful Pennant. These are stamped on DP from Doodlebug
and Pink Petticoat before fuzzy cutting and adhering to the stamped images.
The background sky is embossed using a Sheena Douglass EF: Snowfall,
although it's not too obvious in the photograph and I've used a Mama Elephant:
Landscape Trio die to create a bank of snow.
It's Anything Goes over at Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge
so I'd like to drop my card in there too.
Next up I've used last week's sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch,
unfortunately time ran out last week before I could enter!
I started out by heat embossing, using WOW Metallic Silver Sparkle,
a gorgeous Christmas sentiment set from Casual Fridays: Lovely Blessings.
The panel is then die-cut using MFT Pierced rectangles. Using an American Krafts
Christmas paper pack I've stamped a stitched heart from Clearly Besotted:
Love Hearts set and onto the card panel. Although I have the matching dies
I fuzzy cut the heart to fit exactly inside the stamped image, coated it in
Wink of Stella and glossy accents before mounting the white panel on
Papermania textured cardstock.
The cue card at CASology this week is 'Heart' so couldn't
resist popping this one in over there too, especially as my fellow
LIM teamie, Anita is their GDT this week also.
Ok that's all from me so hope you enjoy the challenge and I'm looking forward
to some super inspiration from you crafty geniuses as paper piecing isn't my forte.
I love your polka dot pup, Sarah - he really made me smile this morning! The glossy heart and embossed sentiment are gorgeous on the second card too. Have a fab weekend x
ReplyDeletelove the purple as a non tradition Christmas card. also the card with the heart is awesome, shame you couldn't enter it
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the paper piecing, the colours are gorgeous and cute and loving the sentiment. It's not my forte either but that will be my own personal challenge this week. The Christmas card is so classy, sentiment is beautiful and so is that heart. Yes missing a challenge deadline can be sooo easy as times just flies! x
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards! Great that dotted pup !
