Cheerful Monday #6 - Let's Dance

Vicki's new challenge for the coming two weeks is: Let's Dance - what a cheerful and enjoyable theme during these very wet and dull days ....

  

The focal point is an image from A Day for Daisies which I coloured with Copics and distress inks (Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, Old Paper). Aren't these little girls just darling?

The image is layered on card which I inked with distress inks around the edges.

For the background I used Kaisercraft paper which I stamped on with Hero Arts stamps.

The flowers are coloured with Copics and distress inks (Victoian V elvet, Fired Brick).

The finishing touches are some ribbons, a wooden heart with a little bit of Stickles and some pearls.

Hope you can join us for this wonderful challenge. 

For more inspiration just pop over to the Cheerful Stamp Pad, Petra.

Keeping Warm!

... even Snowmen need to keep warm and this own is well equipped, warmly wrapped up with woollen felt mittens, scarf and hat - just right for the current cold spell here in England!

 

The tag is cut from felt using the Sizzix label die #2, the edges embroidered with a buttonhole stitch. The snowman image is from a colouring page, cut out and 'coloured' with Stickles and Copics. I cut mittens, hat and scarf from felt (all felt is from Bugs and Fishes) and added a little bit of Sticles to the edges. The tag is embellished with some beads, jewellers tag, some twine and more Stickles (LOL) - I have to say I like this little chap a lot and might make a few more of those .... have a lovely weekend, keep warm and safe, Petra.
