More sports

Welcome - thanks you for calling in.

I have entitled this 'more sports' as we here in the Antipodes are being bombarded with the Rugby World Cup fixtures, and the final is about to be played as I start this.

I made this for a young man - I don't really know him, so decided to make this 'sports neutral' by trimming off the round ball by the boys right foot - New Zealand is very much a rugby nation, so I did not want to offend him with a soccer ball!! The image is a freebie from Daisy Doodles.

The image was coloured with chalks, with the red detail being added with a sparkle pen, and the top of the trophy with a gold pen.

The side panel is acetate, painted with Lumiere paints on one side, and when dry, embossed with the divine swirls embossing folder.  I learnt this technique on Splitcoast Stampers, but have never been able to find it again to link it for you. This panel was stapled on to the base.

The tickets were a freebie from Marion 82 from her blog  When the Scrap Hits the Fun.  I had to cut them out by hand, but it was easy to do as they are so well designed.

Framed - in pink!!

Yes, a second post in as many days!! 

Welcome back, and thank you for visiting. 

I have made various cards recently with specific challenges in mind, and have not posted them in time, hence this post.

The challenge that this has been made for is over at Lily Pad Cards, and is the dimensional challenge.

  For the first time, I have made a frame using two Labels 14 Spellbinders dies,  then ran it through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and sponged the edges with Whispers Plum ink.

Next I cut a matching piece of acetate, and stamped an image from the Granny's Jewellery  stamp set by Layers of Color in Staz On ink.  On an identical piece of white card I stamped the same image again.

The back of the acetate was painted with twinkling H2Os, and also the ribbon on the card image.  The flowers on the paper copy had rhinestones added for colour, which adds a real depth to the colours.

  

The frame was mounted on the card base, which had a piece of marbled mauve dp on it, using foam mounting dots.

The final details were pale mauve ribbon and pink rhinestones.
