My Craft Studio Papercraft Library vol 9 Christmas Bunny Snuffles
I know Christmas is over for another year so I hope you don't mind this late offering on my blog.
This 7x7" Christmas card was made especially for a dear friend and her husband and it has travelled a bit since I forgot to photograph it before I posted it in the mayhem that is all things Christmas! So, it was posted back to me so that I could photograph it and share it with you on my blog page...that's what I call a real friend! Mind you, it was conditional upon it's return to them which I have done today.
I used a background from the cd but, using the on board graphics programme, I was able to create additional swirls and add other icons and small touches to the design before printing it out on white Super Smooth card which I cut using Spellbinders Grand Labels One die and using 3d foam tape with Pinflair glue mounted it onto a piece of 7x7" white glitter card which I had stuck to the main card. I used one of the elements from the cd as a sentiment tag and cut it using Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die.
I decoupaged the lanterns and glazed them using my favourite 3d Crystal Lacquer. I then added My Craft Studio Extra Fine Crystal Glitter, and Frost and Ice from Embellishment Attic to give the sparkling finish.
I think this show the versatility of MCS cds - it's not always necessary to use the main images...sometimes a background can be the main feature! I hope you agree.
Fabulous card Sheenagh. I have to agree the MCS cd's are so versatile Love your description I really must start doing that . Chris xx
