Hi there ... another late posting for me before I head off to bed
So all through December I resisted buying this GORGEOUS
Mama Elephant penguin set ... why? Can't answer that!
I love it and couldn't wait to ink it up.
To be honest I only need a maximum of one Valentine card
and even then Hubby and I don't always go in for cards
... it's for the youngsters really isn't it!
So I didn't want to make a card specific to Valentine's Day
but still wanted little critters in a shape with some embossing
in line with Julie's stunning creation below:
Card Recipe:
Obviously the Mama Elephant stamp set but also
the stitched rectangle from the Index Card dies from ME
Sheena Douglas Embossing Folder
Distress ink in Evergreen Bough
MFT Die-Namics Sentiment Strips
Clearly Besotted: Say it in Style
I'd also like to link this up at Simon Says Stamp
where it's 'Anything Goes' this week.
Next up another challenge combo ...
I'm trying to keep to my New Year's Resolution of joining the
Merry Monday Challenge every week but when I saw
we had to include Carol Singers this time I cringed.
UNTIL ... sifting through some of my stash I found
a little pre-coloured art pad from Lili of the Valley
and guess what ... a perfect little image!
I've teamed it up with the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch
using some washi tape from good old M&S!
Amazing what they sell to wrap up those Christmas goodies.
It's silver snowflakes and I was quite impressed with the look
against the grey cardstock.
The sentiment is Uniko Studio: Simply Said Christmas
and it's glistening with Wink of Stella but perhaps not obvious in the photo.
Right that's all for now but thanks so much for stopping by
and hope you are all keeping warm and cosy.
Ha ha! Those penguins were totally irresistable, weren't they? Love your card - so cute.
ReplyDeleteFab carol singers too. Love the little pearl light.
