MMSC18 and Winter Wonderland

Hi all, this has took far longer than I expected as I kept swapping papers etc, I had it in my head I had to make a shaker creation with the digital image I got from Teri's Card and Toppers, shop Delicious Doodles, great opportunity when Winter Wonderland Challenge was to have a snowman in your creation, (which I have just found out finished today, when loading this entry) I thought this could fit in with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #18, this I finally achieved but just not quite what I had in mind but just can't think what else to do with it.
Struggled getting a good photo, behind the snowball pom pom are dazzling diamond snowflakes.

This is a close up of the snowman and cottage, the snowman is 3D, I used Dazzling diamonds for the snow when colouring etc and then used flock for the snow effect, when shaking.

Thanks for looking, happy crafting, take care, AnnetteX:)

MMSC17 and Stamp Something Challenge - Animal

Hi all, what a lovely couple of days we have had with the weather, walking to school yesterday the birds were singing and collecting bits of twigs etc to make their nests, so spring is finally here! (Big smile).

So being inspired by spring this card was created, it covers two challenges in one Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #17 (see sketch below) and a new one to me, which I found when looking on Kellie's blog Stamp Something Challenge Blog which had to have an animal on the creation, hence the rabbit which I purchased last night whilst blogging on Teri's Cards and Toppers, she has a sister site called Delicious Doodles, where you can purchase this cute digital image and more (shhh).

Now I also set myself another challenge not to use purple (sad face) but yea I did it (this must be one of the reasons I love the MMS Challenges because of the Purple Sketch) LOL and also to use more patterned papers.

Materials used are:

Stampin Up DSP Tea Party, cardstock certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Whisper White. Stampin Up Ribbon Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. Crystal Effects for the Eyes, Nose and Teeth, the flower brads from the mini catalogue (which our manager left on our pillows at stamp camp) and finally fun flock for the bunny tail. I also printed the image twice and raised the face, ear centres a tail.

The picture of card above is for the sketch (looks a little stunned by the flash on the camera lol), because I am not too sure if you can alter the sketch, so to the side is the finished card with a sentiment on for my daughter whom is mad about rabbits (this was modelled off Poppy, though I am told her ears and nose are not quite as pink), so already organised with her birthday card for October.

Thanks for looking, happy crafting, take careX:)
