I found this fabulous card idea on Nancy's blog this morning and just had to try it! I met Nancy some years ago when I was in USA. She is a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and has some awesome cards etc on her blog! Please hop over to her blog and check it out! The mitten stamps are from a SU stamp set, and so is the word, "Sparkle", I stamped the mittens in green and then in gold Brilliance ink pad.
Above is the card partly open, and below you can see how the card folds into itself. Such a fun card to make! Thank you Nancy for a fun card idea!
I made the card below using the SU Dandelion Wishes stamp set. I made the background using some Tim Holtz Distress stamp pads. Woohoo! So much fun, and so messy! Ink everywhere - mostly on me it seemed! I have been admiring the backgrounds that Andrea has been making, and so I just had to give it a go! And please check out her blog, she too has some awesome creations there! I bought the mini Distress ink pads as I wasn't too sure if I would like them. As it turns out I don't like them. I LOVE them!!
The colours I got are: Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Festive Berries and Chipped Sapphire. I sploshed the ink pads onto a non stick sheet of plastic and sprayed a light spray of water over the top. Then I just swiped my card over the colours until all my card was covered in ink. I had a great time and was happy with the results:-)
Below is "Romeo-Valentino" asleep on my CLEAN laundry! He loves his comfort!
That's all for today, thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! {HUGS} from me to YOU:-)
