Otters encircled

 I used awesome otters for these cards.

The one below uses left over snippets from the card that follows, and snippets from my stash.

Therefore I must enter the Snippets Playground challenge!

Some time ago I white embossed on black some sentiments,

And kept in a small box….handy for a quick fix.

I also keep die cut shapes from scraps, such as the scalloped circle,

And keep them in a box to use for focal points or sentiments.

His hat is either being blown by the wind, or he’s been jumping up and down ;)

Hmmmm was there a party in the treehouse?

Decorated inside too, with his hat on properly ;)

Or maybe he’s had coffee from the treehouse bar, after the party.

(You must visit the Playground to see what mischief there is!)

This one uses Marbellous paper, die cut a circle,

Stamped Otter on white card to fit behind the paper.

Can you see the epoxy “water droplets”?

This was inspired by Emma Goddard, who runs a fab card and cuppa online.

I hope you enjoyed these awesome otters today.

I ended up doing it in a few different colours :)

Spirited Snowmen

Hello there

it's way too hot here again......for me anyway......

so luckily I can hide indoors and catch up on crafty stuff!

I have not been making many christmas cards this year,

so thought it was about time to catch up a bit.......

I bought Spirited Snowmen at the end of the last christmas catalogue,

so that I'd have something new to play with .....

it hasn't seen much play time until now.

I have used a lot of old tools on these, but similar products are available!

I set about embossing with Northern Flurry on a few white toppers,

stamped my snowmen in various poses :)

and coloured them in, doing a bit of body shadowing in pale blue

Die cut some snowflakes from Seasonal Layers Thinlits,

using snippets of card.

Tip: check your stash for elements you may not realise you have!

Stamped some background snowflakes,

and added sentiments using dies on scraps of card and vellum

I found some swirls on Beautiful Blizzard, and Merry Christmas to all,

adding some movement on the imaginary "ice"

Added some fine silver thread behind the circle above, hard to see!

I then added some glitter to bits of embossing, his boots and hat

They made me smile.......hope they do you!

I've used lots of snippets so it's about time I visited the Snippets Playground!

Do go and look, Di runs a fabulous blog, and challenges,

and has the cutest dog!
