Making a scene

A very intriguing challenge courtesy of Rainbow Lady: create a scene and give it a title.

Well I didn't have the benefit of a CD from Helping Hands but I created a scene with a photo of Harrod's "extended" with the help of a Stampin' Up" wheel. The girl stamp is by Hanna. My scene is called, wait for it, "Going Shopping."

Green & black

Rainbow Lady's challenge is to create a card that is green and black. Here is my attempt using Elusive Images' peacock theme plate. I painted it with Twinkling H2Os and made a shrink plastic tile with one of the feathers on the theme plate.

Snowmen

Rainbow Lady's challenge is Snowmen, which for me was quite a challenge because I didn't have a snowman stamp or any die cuts.

There was nothing for it but to make a trip to the nearby Range where I picked up some cute Dovecraft and Crafty Bitz die cuts.

I ended up making three cards. The top one was J's favourite. The swirls are a Hampton Arts stamp and the letters by Doodlebug. It's a gatefold card, so when you open it there is another wintry scene to view.





In the other two I put the Cuttlebug to good use with the snowflakes embossing folder. I also used my wood cut ivy wheel stamp (Stampin' Up)for the first time. That's going to be great for scrapbook pages.

Things with Wings

A new challenge for me, Rainbow Lady is looking for "things with wings."

My card hasn't photographed very well with the flash which is a shame because it doesn't show the sparkly highlights of Stickles on the butterfly, which was stamped onto vellum using a stamp by Artifacts. The greeting is a Stampin' Up! stamp and the flowers are by Prima.
