Rainy Days...

Today in Calgary it's suppose to be +19c which is crazy warm for this time of year; sadly by the weekend we are suppose to be back around 0c with snow so my rainy day girl might need her umbrella for the snow!

I made this card awhile ago & totally forgot to post it; how crazy is that! I decided to make an easel card with this image & sentiment. Rainy Day Friends from MFT is stamped with mementos ink & coloured with copics. I paper pieced her coat, boots and umbrella & used a clear glaze pen on them to make them rain coats. For the buttons I used some of Taylors Tiny Twinkles in purple.

The DS paper is Fancy Pants Dancing Girls & I used swiss dots to emboss the cs to make it look like rain drops.

I added some yellow ribbon, a prima & button to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day I know I am going to enjoy our nice weather while it lasts!

A Snowball Story...

I was counting my Christmas cards - I only have 75 (including 15 that are 1/2 made) so I have about another 30 to go! When I finished this card tonight I wished I made more then 6, although I am not sure how mail friendly they are they are pretty thick!

I saw this great challenge on Crazy 4 Challenges (C4C10) this week to make an easel card, which I have never done so I wanted to try (click here for the instructions). I used Elzybell's Mischievous and a "made a snowball" as my stamps & I was really happy with how it turned out. The directions are to add a brad or button to hold the card in place, but my bases are 130lb cardstock so I didn't need to add anything & it took away from the "made a snowball" story.

Mischievous is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics, I added some purple Taylor's Tiny Twinkles for the buttons on her coat. For the snowballs and snow on the ground I used liquid applique and ultra fine glitter & just let it dry, for the snow falling I used my quickie glue pen and the same glitter. The DS paper is from Fancy Pants Arctic Chill collection called Snowball

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are closer to finishing your Christmas cards then I am!!
