It Moose-tache Be Love!

 

Hi! Hope you're having a fun day.

I realise this card looks like an odd sheep with a dodgy moustache... but bear with me!

 

Last week I had more plans for this Critters in The Arctic set..

 

 

My original plan was for something fun- but then jodpea commented last week about whether my other idea for using this set was going to be a 'moose-tache'.

I'm not one for shying away from a challenge- so, I wanted to create a new character using the animals from this set.. the head is the mooses, the eyes are the owls and the beginnings of the moose-tache are the antlers!



So- with a bit of messing around, adding colours with my alcohol marker pens and a little 'gel-penning', I arrived at this funny fella.

 

Granted- the sentiment only really makes sense if you get the stamp set- but I'm hoping you can let me have a little punny leeway! I've tucked a simple banner shape from the Sweater Weather papers

 and you have a very silly card for Valentines Day for even the most unsentimental of valentines!
If I have the time, I'll try and create my first idea- but thankyou jodpea for the brilliant suggestion!

See you next week,

Keren xx

You Moose Be My Valentine!

 I know yesterday was 'Blue Monday' where all the fuzzy 'after-Christmas' feelings apparently vanished (yeah, right!), and if you've noticed the shops are getting in all Easter goods!.well my mind went to the next 'event'; Valentines Day.
I've had this Critters Set in a little while & hadn't looked at the sentiments- I'd just dismissed it as a Christmas set.
Well it's not!

And.. with 15% off..it's only £8.95.

If you're not a mad fan of fussy cutting..look no further than the dies that match



and as these are also on Special Offer, it would criminal not to get them together ;-)

 

To create it, once I'd stamped the moose and die-cut it out, I simply die-cut the hearts from this set plus a couple of smaller sizes from other Lawn Fawn die sets. I used the papers from Sweater Weather & Snow Day to create the grass and hearts plus some gold mirror card (which in small quantities is actually pretty useful!!)

Attach the hearts to some string and attach to the reverse of the moose. After all, what else are antlers for?!

The sentiment is just perfect for any love card or a secret Valentine too!

Hope you can show these little fellas a little love. I have plans for some fun stamping using just his antlers!
See you next week
