Day 9: Nine Ladies Dancing!

Saturday, December 6, 2008

Sorry for this post being a little late today - I've come down with a cold and I've been walking around in a cloudy daze these last couple of days. Still, since my inlaws have my sweet girl today, I snuck in some stamping time for a special reason - over on Papercraft Planet, Hanna Stamps is sponsoring Day 9 of their Twelve Days of Christmas challenge.

The challenge wasn't to include 9 ladies dancing (although Adela's did - wow!), but you do need to include a lady on your card. I chose to use the sweet teen from the 'Slumber Party' set just released this week.

Sorry if the photo looks a bit glarey - I tweaked it in some software, but my brain can't decide if it's an issue or not! (My brain has switched off today....I'm surprised I can even type today!)

I stamped Hanna once on some watercolor paper, and again on some Whisper White. Then I colored her up on the water color paper with my SU inks and stamped the background of the other with the hearts stamp from the 'Read My T' set. The I cut Hanna out with my precision scissors (which I find is the best to use) and inked the edges with a black sharpie. Popped her on some dimensionals, and layered her over the image I stamped on the whisper white.

The patterned paper is by Sandylion and I found it at my local scrapbook store. The sentiment is also from the 'Read My T' set. I used my circle punches to create the tag and adhered to the ribbon using a jump ring (found at Michaels). If you can, you should play along because Hanna Stamps is putting up a prize for the winner. I believe the challenge ends at midnight EST, so you might wanna get cracking! :D

Hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday. I'm planning to watch the 'Sex in the City' movie while creating a photo book online for a Christmas present. Toodles!
