Hello Everyone, I hope you are well this Sunday, and that you are enjoying your weekend.
Thank you all for the lovely comments about my BIL, you are very kind. Thank you too for commenting on my last card too. It was one I enjoyed making.
Well, it's time for another Christmas Card Club card, where do those weeks go to!! Anyway, this time the theme has been chosen by our lovely Lorraine and she would like to see Icicles or Anything goes. I had a hunt around my stash and I just couldn't find anything to to do with Icicles so I'm afraid I ended up with the Anything Goes theme and I've got two cards with Snowglobes. The nearest I could get to Icicles.
Up first is this little snowglobe die from Hobbycraft, it's rather sweet I think. after cutting it out I stamped it with embossing ink and then used Wow EP it give a frosted look. Background inked up with DI and splattered gouache to make the snow, I've added acetate and sequins to make a shaker card. The sentiment is by JND and the paper from a First Edition pad. A few gems to add sparkle.
This lovely snowglobe die is from The Works, and it cuts out wonderfully. Again I've made a shaker card. I found some bluish glitter card to make the sky. The acetate is fro CC and it already has whit dots on it. The beautiful paper is from the gorgeous paper pad I bought the other week from the Works. Sentiment, a freebie from creative Stamping magazine, some gems to finish.
Here's a close up of this one,
What fiddly things to make mind you, but I'm pleased with how they turned out, I hope they will do Lorraine.
I mentioned that we were going to a concert last night, and it was brilliant. Now I have always loved film music so this was right up my street, that and it was in aid of MFR Cash for Kids. MFR is our local radio and they do terrific work in raising money for children. The Cathedral was jam packed.....never seen it before, and with fabulous programme there was standing ovations. Some of the musicians were in costumes...lots of pirates and Star Trek Captains.
A young man, maybe late teens or very early twenties played the beautiful violin movement from Schindler's List faultlessly, absolutely wonderful for someone so young, but really all the music was outstanding and brilliantly conducted by Susan Dingle, who wanted everyone to sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody, amazing how may folk knew the words, me included, it was such fun.
It was a Scratch Concert, meaning all the musicians came together in the afternoon to rehearse the music and performed at night, such a large orchestra too, must have been around 50 +. Anyway it was a great night and brilliant to hear these fabulous pieces played live.
Right io, that's me for now, I hope to get around to visit your blogs later today. Thanks for your continued visits, and don't forget to comment on the other CCC girls fabulous cards, see you soon,
Id like to enter the first card into the https://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.com/2019/09/september-rudolph-days-challenge.html
