PBSC September - Anything Goes (Optional 'Anything but Square')

It's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:


'Anything Goes'
or
'Anything but Square'


As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
Prize - a $20 voucher!

I decided to make a little rocker card...so inked up one of the little snowmen from the 'Snow Much Fun' set by Penny Black, stamping him on to watercolour paper. I coloured him using watercolour pencils, then used one of my circle Nesties to cit it out, before fussy cutting around the top of the image. I matted it on to a circe of snowflake paper from the 'Glittering Snowflakes' pad by Crafter's Companion, then on to some silver mirror card..scalloped shape cut using another Nestie die. To make the rocker part, I used a saucer as a template for the larger circle...cutting it from white card, then used that to cut a slightly smaller semicircle from another piece of paper from the same pad, and added that on top. I folded it in half to make the card blank, then added the snowman on top using some 3D foam pads.


I did manage to capture a short video of him rocking...the idea was that he'd look almost like he's doing a cartwheel! Ha Ha!


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
