Trenouths Crafty Creations

approx 7x7" card made from white card with nesting dies.  I printed the image onto white along with the sentiment and coloured with inktense pencils, stencilled horse shoes around with and die cut into shape and adhered to the card front.  I die cut a frame from dark green card and added to the card front with 2mm foam tape

I bought this stamperia stencil with horse & horseshoes - but its so very thin and delicate it was very difficult to use

Just a close up

Now the better weather has arrived the girls love going out on a horse and cart ride with their dad and spend many happy hours seeing the countryside that way.

Alice is a talented gymnast and a little contortionist so i borrowed these gymnast dies from a craft friend

A5 white cardbase.  

I die cut the gymnasts from green glitter cardstock and 4 layers of scrap white cardstock which I layered together with the green glitter as the top layer - this gave them a sturdy chipboard depth.  I die cut the letters from purple mirri card and white card and used the white as a drop shadow to help them stand out.

I matted a lilac happy birthday printed cardstock onto purple mirri and then green glitter cardstock and then the card front.  The gymnasts were a bit lost against the background so i tore a piece of vellum adhered my letters and gymnasts to it - i then added tacky pva to the back of the vellum behind the letters and gymnasts and adhered to the card front - that hid the glue holding the vellum in place.

Just a close up - in real life the purple mirri and green glitter really do sparkle and shine

Id love to enter this card into:
