RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE ....JULY 2022...DT CARDS

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

Sorry the Rudolf Challenge will not start till tomorrow the 26th.

I went away to my Son's house to help my Daughter look after his dogs at the begining of July while they were on holiday.

While there I went to my Great Granddaughter's play as it was her last year in junior school.

On coming home from my Son's I got the Covid not sure where I caught it from as my Granddaughter and her friend who attended never got it.

Getting better as each day passes just a tickly cough now and then, and I can't smell or taste anything either.

 

As it's the 25th of the month and time for another Rudolf Days Challenge over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG  

The challenge runs from today till the end of the month as always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.

But you may put more than one card in your one post if desired.

Here is what I made when I was feeling a little better.

 

 

 
These are both 7"x6" size tent style cards.

The shaped die used is a John Lockwood Die, and I was watching a demo on You Tube of him making a Christmas card with his Christmas set which is very much like this one so I got inspired to make a Christmas one with the one I had already.

This is the first time useing this die and I am pleased how they turned out.

The card stock used is from some pads of coloured card and paper bought from Hobycraft.

The leaping deer was coloured with a Tonic glitter pen on the first card and the original colour on the second card.

Sentiment die I think Maureen sent me.

On the second card I used a flower I made from my stash which I thought looked like a Christmas Rose.

 

Thank you for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT CHALLENGE 144 ..FOR JULY...INKY BACKGROUNDS

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

 

It's the first of the month yet again and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

Your host for this challenge is the lovely Carole and she would like to see Inky Backgrounds on your creations this month.

Here is what I made for my DT.

 


This is a 5"x7" size tent style crd.

I started by rubbing Blue Print Sketch Distress Oxide Ink down my card stock and then I stencilled a leaf design with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink.

I then sprayed the inked design with water and some white pearl mica I made up in a spray bottle. Which doesn't show up much in the photo.

I then cut out my sentiment 5 times out of white card stock and glued together.

Lastly I splattered white gesso watered down for some speckles.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
