First up we have the lovely Flapper girls cheering in the new year! I have to say though that the balloons and strings are just part of MY card, and not the stamp itself! I tried to make one of the dresses like those fringy dresses from the past. I don't know if I achieved my look or not...? I kept to two colors, silver and black. To me those are New Years colors! Do you spy the Dainty Dots die?! LOVE it!!!! It's so awesome! And the cut is so clean! It will dress up your card every time!
And now we have the always fun, always doing something different each month, Ice Skating Flopsey! This month he's taking to the ice! Better watch out, he might grab a snow ball! ;)
In this first picture, I made a gate fold card just on the front. The snow mountains move when you untie the bow! I added stickles to the edges of the snow for that sparkly look.
Once you open up the gate fold, you can see that Flopsey is indeed ON the ice! I stamped him on vellum, colored him both on the vellum and the white cardstock w/ Koh-i-noor pencils, and then cut out an oval. I flipped him over and upside down and viola! A reflection! I stamped one of the sentiments that Flopsey comes with on the ice so it looks like he "skated" the word! I drew the rock wall behind him just to give depth. I added white flocking along the top of the wall for a layer of snow. I added stickles on the snowballs, snowflake and all around the ice pond for more sparkle!
On the inside, I wanted to continue the snow theme, so I tore the top of the white layer and added stickles, and then adhered a snowflake to the bottom! You can find the snowflake Die-namic here
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to stop by everyone's blog and leave them a little love!
Hugs,
Two fabulous cards!!
