Ship in a Bottle

 A stamped card to share with you today.  I started with a sticker stencil and added ink to form the bottle, then stamped and masked the boat before adding the little passenger. Some grasses were stamped to give a little background interest.  Image was coloured using pencils.  Final addition was a little tag which was die cut.


Stamps - Lavinia
Sticker stencil - also Lavinia
Tag - from Craft Addiction UK

Snippets Playground Challenge #513

 Time to pop over to the Playground with my homework for the current challenge.  This card was made a while ago so apologies that there is no picture of the snippets this time. This card was made for my DIL who loves anything elephant related and I do try to find something different for her card each time her birthday comes around. Everything was made using snippets except the green layer and card blank.  I started by cutting the slatted die into a snippet of white card and backed it with the green.  The elephants, mouse and balloon were stamped and coloured using alcohol pens before die cutting. The sentiment was stamped and die cut from another snippet.  BTW, she loved the card 😊



Slatted Die - Unbranded one which I've had for quite a long time
