Hi again all you lovely people,
As they say here in Northern Ireland,"What's the craic?" lol which basically means how the heck are you???
I'm recovered from my flu (apart from my sinuses) and Thor my cat's doing really well so I'm feeling hopeful today that his leg is ok and no further treatment is needed! He broke his leg in two places and dislocated his hip, he's had an operation and loads of bandage treatment so I'm hopeful it will all come to an end and he won't lose his leg, as he's getting around great and running after pumpkin (our minature chihuahua). Anyway lets get down to business and talk about today's card.
It's such a fun card, I've seen loads of cards where there's an item that slides across and they're made with dies so as I'm trying to just "use what I've got" so I made one without buying any dies.
Check out my youtube channel for all the details.

Hi again craftland
Jacqui back with another project for you (if Thor my cat will let me type that is lol). For this card I've used some backgrounds I created in an earlier youtube video. I used Tonic nuvo shimmer powders and brushos to create them. I wanted to make them into cards where I could still see lots of the background as I love making backgrounds and wanted to show them off not hide them. On some I've also foiled over the top of the background too and I loved the shiny distress effect it gives.
I searched through my stash and found some Tonic and Sue Wilson strip dies, and some sentiment dies. I thought these would be the perfect decoration for my card. I scanned the actual strip dies into my brother scan n cut and got an outline for my sentiments. I cut the outline in vellum and the dies in foil card.
The strip dies I layered up four times before adding. To finish the cards I used some snowflakes and gems.
