Foiled!

The challenge on DCM this week is:

"....I would like you to utilise some plain old aluminium foil from your kitchen. You can scrunch it, die cut it, emboss it, ink it, coil it, cover chipboard - or anything else that you choose!....."

Took me a while to think up something for this one as I wanted the foil to be as subtle as possible! This is my contribution:


I started by covering the card with red Bazzill c.s. and then layered some DP from Bo Bunny. Then I added two strips of Bazzill c.s. in light blue and red to the bottom of the card, the red piece having been run through my Bigshot with the Cuttlebug circle flowers embossing folder. I stamped Tilda and her watering can and coloured with Brushables and added a little glitter dust to her wings. This was then layered onto kitchen foil and light blue Bazzill c.s. and mounted onto the card with foam pads. I then covered a slide (is that what you call them?) with more foil and ran it through my Big Shot using the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. Fixed a Pink Petticoat sentiment to the back of it. Finally, added some flowers from Poppicrafts and some blue brads from my craft box.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...
