The Craft Room, Derby: White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Derby

Thursday

White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Derby

Good morning and never mind about white rabbit for the new month, it is white everything here in Derby.

3 inches of snow first thing this morning, not the Spring scenes I was hoping for.

This is the path that needs to be cleared before I can get into my crafty space

It does make a lovely picture though. I know Christiana wanted to see snow but goodness, sometimes we have to be a bit careful what we wish for.

Today is the day we should have gone to Glasgow to see the x-factor. We decided last week that we couldnt leave Christiana on her own or with anyone else but how fortunate as no one can get in to Glasgow at the moment. I dont know if the show will be cancelled but the trains are not running so we wouldnt have been able to go anyway.

Yesterday it was a day at home and just look at what was created

The Magical Day stamp set is certainly very magical as it is addictive. I saw this on the internet made by Mindy and I just had to make it myself, I know a little girl (as well as a big girl) that will love this. You too can make this card

Cut Crumb Cake card to make your card base and then some Basic Black Card to add a matt. Cut a smaller piece of Crumb Cake card to fit inside the Black piece and this is the piece that is decorated. I havent put sizes as everyone likes to make different sized cards but mine is a C5 card if that helps.
Place the template onto your small Crumb Cake Card and using one of the embossing paste tools, scrape some embossing paste over it, smoothing it as you go and moving the excess around. This will take about 20 minutes to dry (if it isnt too thick) so put to one side.
Using the largest square from the stitched shapes framelits, run this through the bigshot.
Using Momento ink stamp out the dragon in the middle of the framelit. Again with Momento ink stamp out the flame coming out of his mouth.
Take the Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Card and using the largest square from the stitched shapes framelits, run this through the bigshot. Very gently colour this in with the old olive light blends marker.
Colour the dragon in using both the light green, dark green and yellow/orange blend markers
Stick the stamped image on the the now green glimmer card at an angle. Stick these to the crumb cake embossed card and stick all of these to the Basic Black Card and then onto the card base.
Using Versa mark on basic black card, stamp out a Happy Birthday greeting from Perennial Birthday stamp set. Quickly sprinkle white embossing powder over this and heat it up. Cut up the greeting and using 3D foam pads, stick it onto the card

If you would like to have a go at making this card please do let me know and perhaps a few of us could have a get together for an hour to make this, once the snow has cleared. The majority of the items I have used are at the bottom of this post.
