Can You Feel The Chill???


Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.

Challenge #185

Theme ' Winter Wonderland'


Our sponsor this week is Creative Craft World with a prize of 3 Promarkers.  To win this prize you MUST use a StitchyBear Digital Outlet item.  With over 20 creators in the StitchyBear store it really is worth popping over to have a look.

For my DT card this week I worked with a fab digi called Skelly Gossip by Ike - unusual, funny and open to so many ideas - yep a cracking good digi <g>.  The digi is available through the StitchyBear Digital Outlet.

Now having a few ideas on how to use this digi and link it into our theme this week of Winter Wonderland I decided to really think outside the box - really how on earth can skeletons have anything to do with a winter wonderland.  I did think of having them buried in the snow with snowballs landing on them but I also had this tiny ball of wool and knitting needles I have been waiting to find the opportunity to use.  There are a few folks who will see this card who are rather partial to knitting, one of them being my sister so I now the funny side will be seen lol.

I printed a winter wonderland background and cut the window frame out with my die cutter.  I placed sheet plastic behind the window frame and then attached to the card with foam tape.  For the table I coloured some white lace with Turquoise Promarker then attached it to card, this was also attached with foam tape.  Next the really hard part - to fussy cut the skeletons, that was a job in itself but so worth the outcome.  I created the speech bubbles and cut them out, again attaching with foam tape.  To finish off the card I used blue lace to make the curtains and white cord to make the tie-backs.


Ingredients :-
  • Blue card from Craft Creations
  • Digi - Skelly Gossip by Ike
  • Window die cut and speech bubbles by me
  • Lace, cord and fabby knitting embellishment from my stash
I am entering this card in the following challenges:-

  6. Oh my goodness, I've laughed and laughed since seeing this card and any typos will be because I've still got the giggles big time. What an incredible concept for using your skeletons for a Winter Chill card - and naturally I do love the reference to knitting with those diddy needle and yarn. You've fussy cut the skeletons so well that they don't even have any broken bones. I love the scene you have created - the cosy decorated lounge looking out on the snowy winter chill outside, Thank you for the wonderful laugh and certainly one to frame. Love you treasure/ xxx

  19. And this awesome and wonderfully funny card will continue to spread love and laughter for a long, long time. No , there was not a massive global earthquake last night .....The loud rumblings was me laughing when I learned that my wonderful sister had made this card for ME.
    Oh, thank you so, so much treasure .......I Love it and you for all the thought and love you used to create a card that makes me laugh so much, that has been so individualised to my passion and is just 'me' .......and to think that you fussy cut the skeletons when your hands were so very painful. You really are the most wonderful, generous and talented of sisters and such a blessing and joy in my life.

    Thank you so much Treasure .....and definitely a card to be framed. Love you so much Treasure. xxx ♥ ♥ ♥
