Oh I had so much fun making this card for our new challenge at Bah! Humbug! This week our theme is to use text as a focal point. Wow, brilliant news as ever since seeing Barbara Gray's show on Create and Craft recently when she showed some amazing word stamps I've been desperate to have a play using words and their shape as a feature on a card.
I decided to take the obvious route and choose a word with a couple of convenient circular openings in the letters. I must admit that on starting the card I was thinking of the 'Os' being apertures and the polar bears being stamped on the card inner. In the end though I used acetate and made the 'Os' into shaker areas with the polar bears stamped on card behind. The glitter card letters were cut on my Cricut machine using the basic cartridge that accompanied my machine.
Materials used...
- Woodware Polar Bear clear stamp set
- Cricut machine and Plantain Schoolbook Cartridge
- Diamond Dust (in the shaker part)
- acetate and clear foam tape to create shaker section
- sentiment computer generated and printed on to white card
- blue glitter card and silver mirri board
- silver peel off
Additional challenges...
- Simon Says Challenge - Move it (think the moving snow counts)
- Die Cut Dreams Christmas Challenge - a child's Christmas (what kid can resist playing with a shaker card?)
- Pixie Dust Studio - fur or feathers (on this occasion white fur)
Don't forget to pop over to Bah! Humbug! and check out the fab designs by my team mates Irene and Max and hopefully you'll have time to join us in our new challenge.
Have a great Friday.
