Try It On Tuesday wants "Animals - Real or Imaginary" and Cut It Up wants "More than One Die". I'm using three dies, two of which are Swedish Dala horses - these are stylized and therefore kind of imaginary horses. They have been
symbols of strength and courage in Sweden for hundreds of years. Little handcrafted wooden versions are sold as gifts, as Christmas
decorations, etc.
Sticking with my animal theme and lots of blue, I've got sheep in sweaters for the Addicted to CAS Challenge "Sweaters".
I stamped and coloured the sheep and star, stencilled some snowflakes around them, trimmed the panel, and added it to a blue card base.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Savvy Stamps sentiment
Ink - Delicata silver, Distress Oxide Faded Jeans
Paper - white cs, blue shimmer cs, silver cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Charlie und Paulchen Skandi-Pferdchen dies, star stencil. Impression Obsession tree die, Ranger silver embossing powder
Supplies for card 2::
Stamps - Inky Doodle
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white and blue cs
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, Memory Box snowflake stencil, Dreamweaver embossing paste
Lovely CAS cards Susan, I have the horse die but didn't know the history of them, and the sheep in jumpers look adorable, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThe Dala Horses stand out beautifully in white against the blue starred background Susan and the silver tree works well behind them, and then those cute sheep with their pretty sweaters are delightful and great that they look up at the yellow star, and I love the white snowflake covered background behind them...two brilliant cards. x
