This week it's recipe time at The Pink Elephant and Ella wants us to use dots, tags and punches.
Well you would think that members of the design team would get it right wouldn't you, but a certain member (okay it was me) got so excited about using the fantastic image from Your Next Stamp and making a shaker card again with that fantastic Diamond Dust that the recipe went completely out of my head. What am I like?
Anyway all was not lost as I had already used a snowflake punch for my abundance of snowflakes. I managed to squeeze a tag into the act and okay this might be pushing my luck, but the diamond centres to the snowflakes could so easily be counted as dots couldn't they? Say yes, please!
Actually for this design I need to thank Sandra Dry for her inspiration. I saw one of her fantastic cards with a snowflake border and I just thought wow that would work so well around the apperture of a shaker card. I don't know about you, but I often think shaker cards can look a little rough around the edges so what a great way to mask that by using snow flakes.
You can see Sandra's fabulous card HERE. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing ideas
Sandra.
My image is Fhiona and Friend penguin, which I coloured using Promarkers. There is also a cute little button with Penguin on in this set of stamps. I must use that the next time I use this stamp - it's just so cute.
I do hope lots of people will join us at The Pink Elephant this week. It really is so great to visit everyone's blog and be inspired by the amazing talent out there in blog land.
