Skating Card

 

We have had a bit of every type of weather all week. Last weekend it was so mild we did more yard clean-up and our neighbour cut his grass. The areas about 40 minutes drive from us were digging out from the snow they got. It missed us again. Then it went from very worm to absolutely frigid and another dusting of snow. This weekend we are expecting rain. Crazy.

Today’s card was made with a die I bought without checking the size of it. I’m so bad at on-line shopping but we have no craft stores here except Michaels which does not sell stamps or dies or half the other card making items I use. So the card had to be made larger than my normal A2 size card but I was happy with it. Unfortunately, our postal workers are on strike so I cannot mail out all the cards I made for family and friends. Oh well, they will be still fine to go in 2025.

 

 For the background I just glued two pieces of cardstock together and added the green strip over the seam. The skates were cut several times so I could do each section a different colour and layer them. For the laces, I used a red marker to colour the strips. Then I just had fun embellishing the top of the skates and added the punched die with gold peel-off sentiments and bits. It was all mounted on a 5.5 x 5.5 white card base.

That’s all for a cold winter day on Friday, December 13, 2024.

Cheers
