Hi
– its me again!!!
No
real disasters here in Angie's craft room today I am pleased to tell
you...
And
we did get Guyus back – hubby was back to the tree where he left
him last night – at around 6am and yep he was still there –
sleeping, lucky for some – its amazing how losing a bird affects
your sleep – poor hubby was tossing and turning all night and the
relief when he came home with the bird was clear to see
Guyus
actually flew from the tree he had slept in and landing on a rooftop
at the top of our Garth – but then a flock of birds swooped so he
flew across the road which so happens to be our local nature reserve
so full of trees and bushes...
His
mate Steve went over to him with some binoculars and they spotted the
bird near the fishing pond so shot over there – its around ¼ mile
from our house – armed with glove and food and as they hoped Guyus
was hungry so when he saw the food he flew to the glove for it –
PHEW!!!!
Back
to card making....
Ann
loved the card I shared with you all last night – her hubby
delivered my avon this evening so went away with the cards and I had
lots of praise and thanks – and more orders for unusual cards!
So
this is the 2nd of the cards ordered by Ann – she told
me it was for her dog walking friend who has a big black lab type dog
So
I searched my folders and came across the sheet – it may have even
being a craftsuprint sheet
But
it was far from festive...
in
fact I thought it was extremely dull!
So
I started by cutting out the pyramage and building it with large
sticky pads, then matted it to a piece of gold mirri card
I
had a sheet of blue snowflake backing paper in my christmas crafts
box – so where it was from is anyone's guess as some of it could be
up to 7 years old!
The
paper was stuck to a lovely silver grey sparkle card blank leaving a
narrow border then the matted image was stuck to it – I worked it
so the matted image was just below the top row of snowflakes
I
used a scrap of blue pearl card and stuck on a large gold peel off
sentiment and rounded the corners before positioning just under the
1st layer of pyramage
And
also on the scrap of blue I added white peel off letters to spell
EMILY & CO – this was added to the bottom of the card.
I
came across a few green and gold holographic christmas tree peel offs
so stuck one to either side of the main image
A
clear and gold glittered sentiment “Santa's Little Helper” was
stuck above the 1st layer of the pyramage and I crossed
out the LITTLE with a gold pen and wrote BIG above it!
Almost
finished now – I took 2 odd die cut gold baubles and threaded a
short piece of ribbon through the hanging loop securing it around
about 2cms up with double sided tape
The
other end of the ribbon went over the top of the card and was secured
with double sided tape then a piece of clear cellotape, I had the
ribbons at different lengths.
Lastly
I sprayed the card front with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle
but didn't do the baubles – then going back to my disasters
yesterday – I – without thinking – put the baubles on my lap
and sprayed – removed the baubles and hey ho I have the bauble
outlines glittered to my craft trousers!!!!
Well
that's it – got writers cramp with waffling on so much – sorry
folks – I get carried away
See
you all tomorrow I hope
Bye
for now
