New Challenge #76 at Glitter n Sparkle

Hi everyone,
Well I think my arm is about to fall off this week,
My friend has kindly lent me her collection
of Dies (because mine is soooo pitiful lol),
and all I seem to be doing is Cutting 
and Cutting and Cutting and ......
(you get the idea)
But hopefully I will have plenty of choice  
to make some nice cards
till I can build up my own Die Collection.

Anyway here is my project this Week:-

The Theme at 
Glitter n Sparkle is:-
Use Some Green/St Patrick's

Our Sponsors this week are:-

Fiztown who are offering
3 Images from their store

Sassy Studio Designs who are offering
7 Images from their store

Eureka Stamps who are offering
5 Images from their store

A Day for Daisies who are offering
a $12 Gift Certificate for their store

My project for this week is:-

Candy Cane Digi Stamp 
from Sassy Studios 
(one of our sponsors)




To begin with I made my base Card from
 17cm x 25cm Dark Green Card
(stash),
which I cut and folded into a
Twin Easel Card
(Arts & Crafts Direct).

Next using A2 Locking Loop (5pc)

(Spellbinders)
I Die-Cut out the the 2 Rectangles
and the Sentiment Strip,
(on Pear Green Paper (stash))
Using Wee Bit O'Luck Sentiment Digi Stamp 
from Eureka Stamps 
(one of our sponsors)



Using some Medium Green Card
(stash)
I Die-Cut out the larger of the 
Locking Loop Single Dies.

Next I cut out the Card for the Images 
to stand up on the Easel.
Using Medium Green Card
I cut a rectangle 10.5 x 13.5 cm.
And from White Stock Card
(stash)
a rectangle 6.5 x 10 cm.

Then I cut out the Base Sections
so the Card can stand up.
From the White Card I cut a rectangle
17 x 3 cm, 
from which I cut a 6.5 x 1.5 cm section 
out of the Bottom Right Corner.
Then out of the Medium Green Card
I cut a 6.5 x 1 cm rectangle
which I placed in the cut-out section
of the White Card,
this makes the gap for the smaller
section to stand up in.

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.
               Skin -             Vanilla
                                     Blush
                                     Dusky Pink
                                     Satin
               Hair -              Spice
                                     Honeycomb
               Eyes -            Cinnamon
               Lips -             Burgundy
               Bells -            Yellow
               Cane -           Pear Green
               Arms/Legs -   Lime Zest
                                     Meadow Green
               Hat/Dress -     Pine
                                     Grass
                                     Meadow Green 
                                     Apple
               Boots -           Pine
                                     Grass
                                     Apple
                                     Cool Grey 5

I used some Green/White Checked Ribbon
(Stash)
and placed 2 Strips across the card
and Handmade a Bow using the same ribbon.

And for the finishing touches I used 
the cut-out remains from the Medium Green Die
and put them together to make a Clover.
Using 5 Dark Green Flat-Back Mini Gems
(one in the Clover, 4 on the Sentiment Strip)
5 Light Green Flat-Back Mini Gems
(down the centre of the Medium Green Die)
and finally a Silver and Green Gem
for the middle of the Bow.
(All Gems from my stash)
