First up for the Paper Players "Make You Smile" challenge and for Darnell's NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) challenge.
I used a new stamp that I hadn't inked up yet - it certainly makes me smile seeing the naughty horse stealing the snowman's nose.
Stamped, watercoloured, trimmed, popped up on fun foam on a red card base - love the simplicity, love the mailability!
And today's second card, for Less is More "Scribbles, Drips, and / or Splats".
I need a wedding card and the people are quite artsy so thought this might work for them.
Using silver ink, I stenciled the small hearts and bits of grunge splats and dribbles on the white panel. I die cut the heart from silver glitter cs and also two narrow strips to border both sides of the panel. The sentiment is stamped in silver and heat embossed. The whole panel is popped up on fun foam.
They will be having a very small family wedding given the limitations imposed by Covid-19 so many of us who were invited won't be able to attend it - such a shame for a couple's special day!
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Craft Emotions horse and snowman, Penny Black sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper, red cardstock
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, fun foam
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - Memory Box sentiment
Ink - Delicata Silvery Shimmer
Paper - silver glitter and white cs

Accessories - SU heart die, TCW Confetti stencil, clear embossing powder, fun foam
What a fun Christmas card image! It makes me smile, too, Susan, especially when you notice the body language of the other little critters! And your artsy wedding card will be cherished by the couple as being very personalized for them. I imagine anyone getting married in this time of Covid will never forget their anniversary date!! Take care and keep safe and thank you for sharing at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeletethat Christmas card is so funny, my dogs do that every time they see a snowman with a carrot. If they can't resist how the heck is a horse supposed to.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding card is so elegant in silver, your friends will love it :)
Great cards! I am in love with the horse stamp, do you happen to know the maker? It would be perfect for my Christmas cards! Thanks for playing with us at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card is so darn cute, Susan. Carrots are one of horses favorite treats, so no wonder he was attracted to the snowman:-) Love your coloring and red frame too.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the wedding couple will love your glittery card filled with Love! At least they get to have family at their wedding. They will definitely treasure your thoughtful card. TFS both cards, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
LOVE that horse stealing the carrot! So adorable Susan ... no wonder you had to get this stamp. Wonderfully watercoloured and looks amazing with the red card base!
ReplyDeleteYour silver and white wedding card is certainly artsy so your friends will love it! Too bad you can't attend the ceremony. Hopefully they will video and send it out. xx
