Happy Now

Good morning and welcome to day 5 of Catch the Bug Christmas in July and today's challenge is to make a humorous card + Bingo.

I used Bugaboo's Stella Happy Now and added lots of stickles as ice and snow (my bingo is Bugaboo image, funny sentiment and sparkly). This card is sooo perfect because while I was making it we were breaking temperature records here...now don't laugh, we got to 35 Celsius which is 95F. I hid in the basement and made this card, lol wishing it was waaay cooler out!

I bought the spellbinders nested Tomestone dies and came up with this for a friend. The web was made using Stampin up Illuminate Glimmer, which shows up nicely on dark paper, and the background trees are heat embossed. Happy Birthday Ian

This is one of three Christmas cards I created for my first of 2 - 9 card workshops. I need them to be fast so we can do 9 in 3 hours. The background is embossed with winter wonderland embossing powder (its sparkly) on shimmer paper, add ribbon, snowflakes and image, you're done.
