And... at last, my latest DT card for Quirky Crafts, Mad Madison
(Limited Runs) is coming for Christmas Dinner! Uninvited I should think!!
Weirdly, when I decided the theme to Quirky Craft's latest Challenge was going to be SNOW and Limited Runs was kindly sponsoring us, the first digi I thought of wasn't cute snowmen or fluffy carol singing puppies or angels, but Madison with her axe, and a vision of
'The Shinning' horror film came into my mind!
I usually like to colour Madison as a blonde but decided for this card she should be her normal self, black hair with blue hi-lights.
First, as the card on the post before this one, I covered the top half with blue spotty paper and then layered Madison and her 'snow' scene over the top.
Coloured her with Promarkers and used a silver gel pen and Stickles glitter on the axe on the
outside, but found a Sakura metallic gelly-roll pen did a better job on the inside
(of the second insert) added the sequin trees
(using very thin foam pads) and
the sentiment. I also added some Glossy Accents to her eyes, just to give them that mad glazed look!
(They've cracked a little, but I don't think that matters!)I couldn't decide on the wording to put on the inside of the card, so made these two this afternoon. Which one would you use??? I know, your family's not that mad!! Actually, it was only made for fun.... honest...!
The inside was quite easy even a little long winded. I did it on the computer just using Word
(and the rest!) Ok, first put Madison into PaintNet
(freebie) and added the words over her head, then printed it out, scanned it and then pasted a
nd copied it to Word, where I made her bigger and tilted her a little...
(page setting landscape) then added the Merry Christmas in a text box to the other side... then printed it out again and cut to size...see, told you it was a bit long winded! There's probably an easier way, like using My Craft Studio, or Photoshop, which I could have done but it's really slow on my computer and I wanted to get it done today, not next year! And in any case my tiny brain just shrivels up trying to work out what to do!
As I said, it's all coloured with Promarkers
except the black hair in the insert, as Tom (S-I-L) has borrowed a few of my ProMarkers, black
being one of them, to finish off his Christmas Cards, so I found my...
(Trumpet dah dah da da!!!)
Whisper pens, which haven't seen the light of day for about two years!)

Hi everyone. This is the third DT card I made for this fortnights 'Snow' challenge over on Quirky Craft's Challenge blog. The image, little Sophia making Angel Wings, was kindly supplied by our sponsors, Paper Pretties
nowflakes are from my stash. Lastly I added a touch of Stickles glitter and the die cut corners.
it. Sooo different from when my two were doing their Nativity plays. The story was told in the eyes of all the animals that lived in or around the stable...so of course there were cats, dogs, mice, cows, sheep, goats, donkeys, camels, pigs, doves and cockrels and.... well you get the picture!! No octopuses though! That's it for now! My last Quirky 'snow' DT card coming up next....not your usual Christmas card! Thanks for stopping by!
ks to other freebie papers. You may have to 'sign in') I've layered the papers onto matt silver card. I used Nestabilities Scalloped Circles and a Martha Steward border punch, plus some red reindeer ribbon from DoCrafts and grey/silver eyelash wool from my stash. I've also used Liquid Appliqué on the tree...I love the way that stuff bubbles up when you heat it. The Large snowflake I bought on line years ago...I think I had a bag of 50 of them! (49 to go!) I added some micro glitter to it and there's also some micro
glitter on the little girls clothing. Her buttons have a 'smidging' of red Stickles glitter.
I think everyone must be out Christmas shopping in Blogland it's very quite today! (and yesterday, and the day before and the day before that...) Where is everyone? Hello!!! Well, whether you're there or not, it's time for another Quirky Crafty's Challenge! This time it's my turn to set the theme...and I've chosen...
an add snow to. Easy!
ve used red, black and pastel blue ProMarkers. (so not much colouring!)I cut the icicles out with scissors as I don't have a border icicle punch (*hint!!) There's some micro glitter on his scarf to make it sparkle. I printed out two digi's, embossed the first one with snowflakes and then cut out the second (minus his stick arms) and fixed him over the top with silicone glue.
re's some sneaky peeks of my four DT cards....that' will all be going out later, or sometime very soon. It's my turn to set the Challenge, so I hope you'll pop over and join in!...So, any ideas what the challenge is from these pictures?

This was my very first Owl card I made way back in 2009. It was a birthday card for a forum buddy. (She liked Owls) It was a freebie form Monica's, although I can't find it over there now as she has removed a lot of her 3D pages, but it's still worth a visit for other freebies. I printed this 3D Owl image onto glossy photo paper and used these freebie backing papers HERE
This card has taken me all week to get started. Honestly, I really wanted to have finished all my Christmas cards by now, not starting them! (Admittedly it took me all the week before to get the stamps fixed onto the Kling-On!)
from Stamping Up, two Christmas's ago! (I'm on a mission to use up ''stuff' I've had for ages and not used! )
