Cromford Bear

Samples Sep11

This delightful character has appeared again on your TV screens over the past coupls of days when MCS 4 day deal features this 4cd set. He originally appeared when it was launched back in September 2011. So, as I didn't have my blog back then, I thought I'd resurrect my sample photos and introduce him to you. This square card was cut using Spellbinders die - Grand Scalloped Squares - and I then cut a frame from a printed background from the cd using two smaller sizes of the same die. This was backed with acetate and it was then layered to form a shaker card with MCS Embellishment Attic Snow which I thought looked a bit like raindrops. The front layer was cut around the fence to give depth and then the bear was decoupaged on top. I glazed his wellies and the puddle with 3d Crystal Lacquer. I printed a sentiment and cut it out using Spellbinder die - Scalloped Circles - to complete the design.

This twisted easel card shows Cromford decoupaged on to a printed background under a mound of leaves which were also decoupaged and moulded to shape. I printed an A4 sheet of background paper and a piece of bronze metallic card and used Spellbinder die - Foliage - to cut our a selection of leaves and shaped and decoupaged them onto the base of the easel. Again I printed a sentiment and cut it using Spellbinder die - Fancy Tags Two to finish the design.
