Hi, crafting friends, having some nice weather here after the scorcher summer we have had. I should be outside doing yard work; but I found a more fun project to do.
I found these cute 'Nuts About You' squirrels @ Angie Bloms Digital Designs that I wanted to color and make a card with.
Hey crafty friends, I decided to get a little inky today with Dylusions shimmer sprays & Tims distress inks. First, I started with Stamperia's mystic forest designer paper & embossed with Spellbinders flowers & leaves. I sprayed over the embossed panel with Dylusions shimmery lemon zest & polished jade.
Using We R Memory Keepers scalloped frame card die that was also sprayed to match card panel. I took green stickles and applied it lightly & wiped it all over with a paper towel, creating a subtle sparkle.
Next, I stenciled on an oval die & stamped the gentleman from Tim's herringbone Vintage Mixed Media Postal stamp & stencil set.
Applying mustard seed & peacock feathers distress inks on the oval to tie in the colors of the background. I had a small strip of scrap paper I added along with a leaf die cut also sprayed with shimmer sprays.
I finished embellishing with a green gem & tiny flower die on hat, completing card with Tim's curiosities stickers.
Everything was adhered with Nuvo's clear drying glue.
Hey crafty friends, today starts a new challenge @ 613 Avenue Create! The theme is always Anything Goes with the optional twist of Summer Fun! For this challenge I'm using Look Out Summer from Mo's Digital Pencil.
This fun image was colored with markers. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps, 'You 2' stamped in black onyx ink.
Hop over & check out the challenge and join in the fun!
Stay Creative. Tee
613 Avenue Create Challenge/ Anything Goes Optional Twist Summer Fun
This is the sad little story I read about her...
The story goes: On a freezing New Year's Eve, a poor young girl, frozen, shivering, bareheaded and barefoot, unsuccessfully tries to sell matches in the street. Afraid to go home because her father would beat her for failing to sell any matches and not earning even a single penny, she huddles in the alley between two houses and lights matches, one by one, to warm herself.
In the flame of the matches, she sees a series of comforting visions: a warm iron stove, a lovely roasted goose, and a great glorious Christmas tree. Each vision disappears as its match burns out. In the sky, she sees a shooting star, which her late grandmother had told her meant that someone is on their way to Heaven. In the flame of the next match she sees her late grandmother, the only person that ever treated her with love and kindness. To keep the vision of her grandmother alive as long as possible, the girl lights the entire bundle of matches she had.
When the matches are gone, the girl freezes to death in the cold weather, as her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the girl's body with a smile on her face, and express pity. They do not know about the wonderful visions she had seen or how happy she is with her grandmother in Heaven.
