So a while ago I was lucky to win a blog hop stash giveaway
by Lisa 'I'm in Haven' and this gorgeous Christmas scene stencil
with pull-outs for trees and landscape, from Simon Says Stamp, was included.
It's a first outing for it, for me, so I've sponged the trees using the stencil
with Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn.
I've 'very' loosely followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
using a snow drift die from MFT Die-Namics to create the
'ski slope' effect with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted curved
to match (as best I could). To finish I've added some shading in
Tumbled Glass DI and some glamour dust.
Last one is the 'other' Muse challenge and I have to say that
once again Michele freaked me out with her classy style using muted colours
Here's my take ....
Card Recipe:
Dovecrafts Textured card panel die-cut using Mama Elephant stitched index card
Clearly Besotted: Flower Blocks - heat embossed in WOW brass metallic EP
and 'Congrats' word die which looking at my photo is rather too camouflaged!
Uniko Studio: Flower Power #3 sentiment
A few sparkly gems to finish.
When I made this card I had in mind 2 superb guys who are getting
married in a couple of weeks time - my sister is 'chief bridesmaid'
if that's a role at a gay wedding and my brother-in-law is 'best man'
If any of you watched the Graham Norton show on Friday night
they were in the audience and featured - having seen the show I'm not
sure whether the card is 'camp' enough so your feedback would be most welcome!
Here's Michele's amazing card that I've tried to Muse!
Thanks as always for stopping by and catch you again soon.
All your cards are gorgeous Sarah and I love them all xx
