Dancing with Shadows

Still croaking away here and felt pretty lousy this morning. I've managed a bit of crafting and the ice cream man has just been so I'm munching on a 99 while writing this post - purely for medicinal purposes you understand!

Image and frame are from Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadows CD. The image is printed onto acetate and is mounted behind the frame aperture. The frame is mounted to the card base with 3d foam for dimension. Card is finished with a silver bow, a sentiment and some silver peel off stars.

Rain stops play

We're having a lovely relaxing holiday up in the Highlands and have had fantastic weather up until today - it has poured down for most of the day - it was so wet we didn't even bother going out! We should have been out this evening at the Kenmore Highland games but rain has stopped play so we're watching TV instead. Hoping it's fair in the morning so we can enjoy a last day out somewhere before returning home on Friday.

I did get the chance to put together a quick card with some pieces I brought with me though:

Image is from Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadows Cd and is printed on acetate, this is attached to white glitter card with brads and matted onto silver glitter card. Card is finished with ribbon, snowflake button and some snowflakes punched from white glitter card.

A black and white Christmas

Using an image and backing papers from Joanna Sheens Dancing with Shadows CD and following the sketch from Die Cut Dreams. The image is printed onto acetate, card is finished with ribbon, card candy and a brad.

Can't say it's my favourite Christmas card in the world and it definately needs a sentiment on it!
