Sweet Stampin' Design Team - Green

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Here in the UK it's starting to look a lot like spring ---- not!! Actually it's typical British weather - it changes from day to day which makes it really hard to fine something suitable to wear. LOL!

Anyway, enough of my complaining its onto my Sweet Stampin' Design Team card for you this week. Our theme is' 'Green' in honour of St Patrick's Day - your card must contain green and have a stamped element on it.

I made this panorama card for my hubbie's birthday just before Christmas, and as it included quite a lot of green so it seemed an ideal opportunity to share it with you. I love making these cards as the 3D effect really brings them to life, however they're a nightmare to photograph. 

 

 

 

 

Here's What I Did
The panorama layers, 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, hills, clouds and floral border were all cut from dies. To make life a little easier I cut the fab man in the hammock (centre layer) using my Silhouette machine - however this did take some working out but thankfully it worked out beautifully (did a little bit of hand cutting in some area). The man, hammock and trees were then coloured with Copic markers and then die cut to fit the panorama shell. When fully assembled the 6" x 6" panorama contains 2 inner layers, 2 sides, frame and a front and back panel.

Here's What I Used

Panorama Card

Good morning everyone

Because I've been visiting my step-dad in hospital (who's improving thankfully), and helping to look after my mum I haven't made a Design Team card today. So instead I thought I would share with you the Panorama Christmas card I made for them both.

 

Sorry for the photo quality peeps!!!

 

Here's What I Did
I die cut the panorama sides, 6" x 6" back square and a front frame. The panorama layers were also die cut using a village die and a sloping border die, and on each of the layers I added a small amount of pale blue Copic pen and some glitter to the edges.  Before assembling the scene I added snowflake paper onto the back plate, a flower border to the front frame and then on the front slopes I attached a reindeer and Christmas tree.  To finish off I added some blue gems and a die cut banner to the top corner. Look out for more Panorama cards in the future.

Here's What I Used
Cardstock (CS): Sheena Douglas Stamping CS, Forever Friends Paper (old stock), White glitter Card, Navy CS 
Dies: Tattered Lace 'Panorama' Die Collection and 'Summer Edge', Xcut 'Village', Spellbinders Borderabilities 'Curved Border One', Marianne Design 'Christmas Tree', Die'sire 'Elegant Reindeer'
Other: Gems, Glitter, B000 Copic Pen, Computer Generated Sentiment

There will be more of my Design Team cards later in the week.

Thank you for dropping by and I look forward to seeing you soon.
