Spring has sprung springing card

By -
Okay so I admit I'm rambling a lot in the title but I don't really know how to explain it {nothing new there then}. 

For this challenge {I'm very happy to finally feeling fit enough to try some crafting} I have coloured using promarkers Ike's image and cut it out.  I stuck it onto a floral paper so it looks as though there is something in the basket.  I then stuck a strip of white card on the back so it will "spring" up and down.

I then cut that tight so there wasn't a border.  I heat embossed a square in green and then cut my own grass blades from it.  Before I backed my card, I cut a small hole in the paper and popped the image in it.  When gluing the paper to the card I missed out the bit under the slidey thing for the springing image.

Once the image was in place I stuck the grass blades on using the heat gun and only gluing the very bottom of the blades. 

I die cut two leaves and hand wrote in green "Spring has Sprung"...I wanted them in the bottom corner but they didn't fit so they went up the top.

This card is for Ike's challenge which can be found here: http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

    This is brilliant - what an ultra cool pop up. I really like the look and texture of your grass and that's a lovely paper in the basket. Looks like he's popped up and delivered all his eggs :-D
    So glad to hear that you are feeling better and that you can now enjoy some crafting. :-)
    Thank you for coming over to play along with us at IKEsWORLD CHALLENGES.

Christmas in June feels late to me, I normally start prepping for Christmas around New Year’s Eve!   When I first saw this image the first thing I thought of was to print it as large as possible and decorate it as a cone angel I used to make as a child.   Then I calmed down and thought about it and decided to go with a scrap page…the only minor problem is I can’t seem to stop singing Angels from the realms of glory now!   Okay I’ll stop waffling now but I have some questions later if You would be so kind as to point me in the right direction please?  This is to be entered in to Ike's Challenge To make this page I used: Gold Glitter Iridescent Gold H2Os Gold H2O’s Silver and gold mirri card Christmas cuttlebug embossing folder Mini tiny mini beads Ribbon I printed cut to size and glued together in the weird shape my Christmas angel and tree photos, then matted them on silver mirri card.   I used the cuttlebu...

One Stitch At A Time {OSAAT} Challenge 236 Anything Goes Special Lady

This is my first post for One Stitch At  A Time {I’m am so honoured to be allowed to cover for Nataliya whilst she takes a holiday} and I wanted it to say something about me as well as the theme for the challenge. The theme this fortnight as One Stitch at a time  is anything goes with special lady.  Now I have a few of those in my life, however recently one person has shown me just what a special lady they are through helping me when things got tough.  I send her happy mail a lot and she gets a special birthday card but when it comes to Christmas…the sheer number of cards to be made and sent at the same time means she generally gets a boring handmade card.  I saw the OSAAT challenge theme as a good way to show her how special I think she is at Christmas. I’ve chosen to use the pilbury snoboy image because the snowman is baking and I love to bake and share cakes {because I’m not that fussed about eating cakes}.  It also shows how I’d love to bake fo...

The beauty of death

Gosh here I am blogging again...this time it's a "dark" art journal page.  I love doing these I just sit and play and see what happens.  There's something natural about dark craft that appears to my soul begging for freedom.  I lost track of time and it was only several hours later I emerged ravenous and realising Nan had slept for far too long...tonight I fear could be bad! I've used images from  Ikes Art  to create this page about the beauty of death.  I was really excited when I discovered it was to be a "dark" image over at Ike's Facebook Group challenge this month, I just don't see the "darker" images and creations around much. To make this I've used a background of distress crayons, the tree is made using novou mousse, the leaves are brushos, the mushrooms are stamped as are the bugs from various Hobby Art  stamp sets.  The quote is one I thought of suddenly at the end of the project and is written by me.  It reads: ...
