Hi everyone! Happy May 1st! Can you believe it?! As you’ll see by the next several posts later on this morning, I’ve been a busy little bee, lol! I’m proud to share that I’m a guestie over at Your Scrapbook Place this month! I was ecstatic when the lovely Holley contacted me, and of course, I said yes!
Our sponsor this month is Limited Runs Stamps and I chose the most adorable ‘Ugly Sweater Good Snowman’ digital image to create my wobble card. It’s been a while since I used a wobble element and they are so much fun – I just couldn’t resist using one with this sweater! I chopped off the bottom of the front flap of the card base at an angle and covered it with TH Melange Tissue Wrap, then added some torn paper and some burlap. The main sentiment is stamped ‘inside’ the angle.
When I colored the sweater, I tried my hardest to make it look like it was pilled. I added Crystal Clear Sparkle marker and then Glossy Accents on the snowman. Then my hubby threw in his two cents and told me to add as much ‘stuff’ as I could, to make it as ugly as I could, lol! So, on went the snowflake sequins with green flat-back pearls, then the blingy red Dot Sparklers around the neck, sleeves and waist.
You can’t see the wobble element, but it’s there underneath. So much fun to just flick the sweater with your finger and watch it wobble, lol! Did I say how much fun I had making this card?! ;)
For the inside, I stamped a simple cozy sentiment on a piece of white layered on the kraft card base. Despite the ‘ugly’ factor, I’m loving how this turned out! ;)
