Boat Shaped Card.

This weekend has been very pleasant.  On Friday night I went to see Miriam Margolyes in her one-woman tour-de- force, Dickens' Women.  Not only did I learn about Charles Dickens but also how he drew some of his characters from real life.  Ms Margolyes brought each character to life simply with a change of voice or a change of expression.  I enjoyed it immensley

This afternoon I went to see The Artist.  I have been looking forward to seeing this film and it lived up to my expectations.  A lovely film, quite clever and a sweet love story.  No wonder it won five Oscars.

Now for this weekends card.  I didn't do so well with the cards.  I made three different cards but only liked one, the one below.

Supplies: Pattern - The Cutting Cafe, Sail Boat; Paper - My Minds Eye, Red Pin Stripe and Kaiser Periwinkle; Card - Bazzil; Sentiment - Fern Gully Stamps; Buttons - Francheville; Brads - unknown

I am entering this in two challenges -
Celebrate The Occasion, #53 Birthday (shape card)
Our Creative Corner, Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I used Brads, button and Blue

Our Creative Corner

This is the second post for the day.  I still haven't heard from my son but no news is good news?

My second post is a card I made for Our Creative Corner challenge Making Melody.  Our Creative Corner  

What a fun idea. The song I chose was "These Boots Are Made for Walkin" a 1966 hit recorded by Nancy Sinatra

The boot stamp and sentiment are Darcie's.  The white spot on black is Kaiser paper and the black spot on white was made using a Darkroom Door background stamp.  I double stamped the boot thn cut one out and popped it up on foam tape.  The other one I just cut the straps and popped those on the boot image.  I used Kaiser rhinestones but they don't show up in the photograph.  

I tried to re-create the feel of the 60's by using spots and contrasting colours.

As I said earlier this was fun
