So I found a little stamp I have had for ages from Art Impressions showing the back of a little child, then a tiny stamp for the face, so the obvious way to use it was to cut an aperture and have the child peeping through. But I cut the window waaaay too big, I could have kicked myself. I didn't want to waste the card, so I stamped this cute little snowbird on the inside of the card and added some textured snow effects with the falling snow stencil (Simon Says Stamp) and some texture paste.....I wish I could remember who made the bird stamp, but I've had it for years and it's become anonymous...The colouring for these cards was done very quickly while I had bandages over one eye, so it's not my best effort, but hey, it will end up in someone's trash sometime in January. it's the thought that counts......
Then I was able to move on to my original plan and coloured in the cute little boy image, apart from the size of the aperture, the two cards are the same....
and when you open the card, on the inside is this sweet little face looking at the falling snow.....
I have bought all my pens and loads of images to colour down to London with me. Any bets on how much I will get done? My guess would be around the zero mark!
I love the little Elf card.... Have lot's of fun...
ReplyDeleteBoth of these card are very cute but the little boy one is just cute as can be.
ReplyDeleteI am betting not to much coloring while spending time with the Grandbabies unless you color while the are sleeping :)
Both cards are great, just adorable! I love these stamp sets that have the front and back like that, so darn cute. Thanks for sharing these with us. Also glad it looks like all has gone well with the eye surgery.
