Whoooo-hoooo! It's time for another Mo's Dream Team blog hop and guess what?! I'm hosting this month's hop and I'm very excited!
Because we've recently had such beautiful weather here in the UK (not!) and because we're in for another spell of the same, this month I have chosen the theme 'Let It Snow'. Yup, I wanted my teamies to come up with some snowy creations and I'm sure they've done me proud! There's certainly been plenty of the white stuff to inspire us over this side of the Pond!
So, kicking off this month is my project:
Image: Mo's Digital Pencil, 'Snowman'
Papers: October Afternoon, Good Cheer collection
Could there be a more perfect image for this theme? Here's Mr Snowman, his snowy buddies and some snowflakes for good measure!
This is my very first shaker card and I'm quite pleased with the results. The shaker dome is actually the packaging from one of my rolls of double-sided tape, which is a perfect size for my largest circle Nestie - how cool is that!? After covering the front of my card with my chosen papers, I cut out the circle and pushed the 'dome' through. Then I filled it a little with .... stain removing powder! Yup! It was the only snow-like substance in the house and, actually, it's perfect. Slight draw back in that it has made the dome a little dusty but, hey, it's snowing!
This closeup shows you just how fine the powder is and there's Mr Snowman in his warm hat and gloves, happily surrounded by snow. No wonder he's smiling - the weather in there is perfect for him! He was coloured with my Copics and, this time, the 'glow' (difficult to see but definitely there) was added with pale blue pearlised chalk.
Right, on with the hop and next stop is the very talented Debbie and I know there'll be something snowy and gorgeous waiting for you.
Just in case you should get lost along the way, here's the full hop order:
