SOME CARD COMMISSIONS

Hello Peeps and happy November :-)
I am getting back into Blogging my stuff again having finished 31 Days of Halloween LoL
Today I have a couple of card commissions.
The first is for a guy who likes mountain climbing and my friend wanted him with a laptop LoL
I used a clip art mountain background and water coloured a guy with a laptop. I superimposed the Windows logo onto his screen. Some of the mountains were printed twice and fussy cut and put on with 3D foamies for depth. I always add a little mountain goat to his cards :-D Finally I added some glitter on the snow.

This one is for her grand daughter who is into the darker side of things, so thought she would like this one. 

I have used ' The Queen of Hearts ' by THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE, (they don't appear to be trading now)

I used some red background and tore it, then laced it together with some cord. The paper underneath was spattered with some red ink.  Then I made a doily using parchment paper which I hand drew the pattern onto with parchment craft tools. The teeny flowers were from my stash. 

I have a new Challenge just started over on my IKEsART FaceBook Fan Page and there is a new image for this month - Scared Kitty...........

Don't forget to keep your pets safe this Fireworks Night !!

Thank you for popping in today. xxx

GUEST DESIGNER SPOT

Good Morning Peeps,

I was honoured to be asked to do a GDT spot at CRAFTING BY DESIGNS and chose to do this Challenge with Snowmen.The Sponsor for this Challenge is THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE and I already had just the perfect images for this card.

I used "Snowman Sign " and "Gingerbread Man with Buttons ".

                                                  

I coloured them with Spectrum Noir pens. The Snowman was printed 4 times and then fussy cut and put together with silicone, to make him 3D.

The Gingerbread Men were cut out and stuck onto acetate strips that are sandwiched between the Snowman layers, so they kind of wiggle about a bit in the air :-D

His Merry Christmas is a piece of metallic confetti.

The background papers are Freebies from DOCRAFTS .

I hope you will pop over to CRAFTING BY DESIGNS to see the glorious collection of snowman cards there and to play along too :-D

Thanks for stopping by.  xxxx
