I was so excited to have won a 'Perfect Princess' badge at Freshly Made Sketches for this card on Tuesday and then yesterday I found out I have been showcased at Less is More for this card in the 'Cocktail' week. These awards mean a lot to me in what seems to be restricted craft time at the moment .... I'm sure some little goblin has stolen a few hours out of the day since the kids went back to school !!!!
My card for this post is based on the sketch at Clean & Simple, I had plans to combine it with other challenges but time has marched on and deadlines passed me by so whilst tidying my desk this morning all these pieces came together and I decided to go it alone ...
The three deer are a memory box die cut which was a RAK from Tracy at Dies to Die For, Tracy kindly includes a selection of sample die cuts in each order to tempt you and I think it may have worked in this case :o)
The deer were just plain white so I gave them the old Versamark and silver embossing powder treatment before mounting them onto the card and die cutting a digi sentiment from Pink Petticoat with the PTI double ended banner, three little gems.....job done :o)
If you look closely there are a few bloops within the embossing resulting from a bad touch up job but I only had the one die cut!....so don't look too closely *wink*
Simon Says Stamp are playing 'anything goes' again this week for the chance to win a $50 store voucher and it's a free for all at Wee Memories , so I'll pop this in both of those Challenges too :o)
James has been so well behaved this week without big sis around, I'd even go to say he's enjoyed the extra attention :o)
Hannah has thoroughly enjoyed her work experience in London, getting a taste of commuting on the trains although the early starts and long days are now catching up with her .... I sense a long' lay in' coming on this weekend!
Thanks for looking and hope your enjoying the half term week if you have kiddies around you X
So pretty! I love the deer!! Congrats on your shout-outs, too (the drinks card is awesome--hee hee).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your wins Jenny , i really admire your style it is always so polished. Love your deer card and had to zoom in just because you told me not to ! for me it looks more realistic with the little extra embossing just like its fur would be.

ReplyDeleteTeriffic interpretation of the sketch... I use to live in Newarket and moved to an equally flat bit of France! My sister works with special needs children in Bury and my friend here has an autistic son age 6, he is in mainline french school after going gluten and caesin free. (I'm gluten free as my entire fewmale family are coeliac) I really understand how crafting keeps us sane, so differnt to the usual reality :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny
ReplyDeleteWow stunning card just love this!

Jenny, congrats on all your recent badges and awards...so well deserved! Sorry I haven't been around to comment...life is crazy hectic right now for some reason? Anyway, I love the silver embossed deer (not looking closely, no worries...they look GREAT to me!) and the subtle swirl background. Beautiful card!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a FABULOUS card! I definitely see some more wins in your future with this one...and I definitely don't see any embossing bloops...just "added texture." :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS...don't know how I missed this one...GORGEOUS!!!! Love how you used this die...wow...just beautiful!!(Actually I was looking for the card where you wrote the words,"then the penny dropped"...trying to remember so I could tell my daughter about the cool expressions you use "across the pond"...so cool!!! Oh, I googled it and found out what it meant...I sometimes feel like I'm learning a foreign language:):):)!!)
