A card, just because...

It was pretty exciting cracking open my Crate Paper Snow Day collection pack on the weekend and making something with it. Totally unrelated to snow or Christmas, but in my opinion, versatility is one of the fabulous things about this pack.


TIP You know how Spellbinders circle dies leaves a lightly embossiedinner edge on your die cut cardstock circle? I added some glitter using a glue pen- the embossed border is the perfect guide. It gives the impression of an extra layer without one.

Supplies
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages
Ink: Colorbox chestnut pigment ink
Paper: Crate Paper Snow Day, PTI rustic white cardstock
Other: Spellbinders large circle dies; PTI felt, PTI flower die, Prisma glitter; various buttons

One day wishes

Back online after our internet went down for a few days and a couple of things to share:


My entry for the last round of Scrap That Ad. This one really put me to the test. Especially the traditional fairytale element, all I could think of was princess stuff and since I have no little princesses, it was tough! Loved working with the new Restoration collection from Crate Paper though.

And if you are in the mood for a giveaway, you should pop over to the Paislee Press blog. There is a fantastic $150 voucher up for grabs.

Sketch challenge

My last challenge for Scrapz.biz as a design team member is up on the store website here.

The My Minds Eye Quite Contrary collection is full of great die cut pieces and I am always telling Andy that he is "sooo cute". Of course, I am not biased in any way!





My favourite part of this layout was adding glitter highlights to the raindrops with a precision glue pen and prisma glitter. It really gives the sparkle of water in the sun.
