Silhouettes for my friends

Each year at Christmas time, the stamping club I belong to each of us make something for each other. This year I made these silhouettes plaques. It is starting to get really hard because we have been doing this now for many of years. Scrap Land challenge #11 has started today and ends on February 15, stop by and check out all the stunning cards all the designers have made. You need to use die cuts that are from Scrapy Land.

 Scapy Land has in the shop.

If you need to check here is the link to the store. For this challenge it is “Anything Goes”. The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land. The plaque I found at Michaels and they where 50% off but at that time I really did not know what I was going to do withy them but I just loved them, they are all made of wood. So I decided to do used Krylon premiun sterling silver spray pain, I sprayed them lightly 4 times. I wanted to make each of them a different scene. Now as far as the die cuts they are all from Scrapy Land but I did mix them up. So I will tell what ones I used.

I will try and match them up but I do not want to replete them. On the first plaque most dies are from,  Impression Obsession Birch trees DIE079-U, The deer DIE080-N, The birds Die154-A, Trees Die217-E, The Bunny is from Cherry Lynn Birch Tree with cute Critters B370.

Fourth one Memory box butterfly delights, garden pots, birds, squirrels, flowers, spellbinders gazebo. The silver buttons I found where all gold so I sprayed them with the silver spray and add them to the plaques.

The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge has started for this week and the twisted for this week is anything goes. I have been wanting to try this die cut it is called Ballroom Slipper by sizzix. It was not hard to do once I found the instructions on line. They have printed instructions and a video so it made it easy to put together.

The papers I used are from my scrap ben.

I added some diamond mesh to give it some sparkle. I just love heal. So easy to make.

Some stickles all around the edges.

A prisma flower for the top. It was fun to make and they give you different pieces so you can make the front low cut, can make it as a slipper with no heal all kind of thing you can add to the front. So I’m going to play around with some. You could even make them as Christmas ornaments and tie a string on the back to hang it.

This is what the Ballroom Slipper looks like. Thanks for stopping by. I do hope everyone that lives in the north west is doing fine and was able to stay safe from that winter storm.

Where have all the BUGS gone?

Sorry have not been around been having problems with my Arthritis (all over) but bad in my hands. So had to go in and have some steroid injections in my hands (ouch), so the medication is finally working and I can type and make some cards again. Why does life do this us? I suffered with (really bad) migraines most of my life when I was younger and then they seam to kind of go away and now I suffer with Arthritis and it is both kinds. I have to remember to tell myself it could be worse, right?
Okay this card was for last weeks Twisted Thursday challenge and the twisted was to make a gatefold card. Now my wonderful quilling you see, I did these a long time ago when my hands worked really good. I thought the bugs would go nice with the boot. Our sponsor for this month is Bugaboo. My images is called “Rain Boot”.

COLD OUTSIDE

I have had this card done for awhile so I used this one for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the twist is to add “bad or eyelets”.
Over at The Outlawz we have a Progressive Freebie challenge where if you want to join in you need to sign up by send an email to outlawsprogressivechallenge@gmx.com , requesting the free image for the month, sending your first and last name, we are in January right now, so the little girl from “All Dress Up” and she is called “Winter Girl”. If you want to do this you need to make a card with her by the end of January 30. Post it in the challenge area.

Okay, I have somehow lost my notes on this card, so I will do my best.

All the pearls bare from All that Bling.

This what I did to the inside. I used a 6x6 stencil from crafters workshop called mini mod circles and used brilliance moonlight white. Add some rick rack, more pearls and brads.

The flowers I used Nellie Swellen punches. I used a foil to punch out the flowers, another long lost something I found. I also put the foil behind  the die cut.  You can see the ribbon a little more in this picture.

Here are my brads, can you tell they are fuzzy?

I hope you can tell… One of my blogging friends did this and I thought this was pretty neat. Cut the Spellbinder die out 2 times and moved one a little to the side. I think that looks pretty cool.

Just another view.

These are the copic markers used to color the image and here is a close up.

Thanks for stopping by, hope all is well.
