Her name is Anthoinette and I just had to make her s-l-i-d-e across this card on her little skates!
I've never made a penny slider before and approached the whole thing as if it was a major engineering project. I rarely make templates but I have to admit that making a template for the 'hill' with the slot in it was a good idea as it helped to get the positioning correct.
The blue background is covered with embossed snowflakes from a stamp set that has lost it's label. The sentiment is from a new set that will be appearing again very soon, so I'll give you all the details then. I added a cute little tag for Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #4 (Tag you're it!) and then went totally OTT with the glitter glue. This card doesn't look quite how I had imagined, however I am quite pleased as this is my first attempt at a penny slider!
I still feel really poorly so I'm going to tidy up, get a hot chocolate and settle down to watch Day 4 of the fabulous Kristina Werner's 25 days of Christmas. It's a snowman window card today!
Happy 5th November to everyone in the UK.
Needless to say I will be keeping Custard in this evening as he is very frightened of fireworks.
Happy crafting everyone!

you have got it bad with these stamp,s. Can see why though they are gorg.
What a great idea to make her into a penny slider, I was wondering what you were going to make when you mentioned it the other day.
Perfect card for a perfect image
Well done, I love it.....

Hi Jo, sorry you are still feeling poorly, I managed to go back to work today although my voice is still a bit croaky. Your slider card is amazing, she looks so cool skating across the card. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Jo, Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving a comment, fantastic cards and I love your blog. Hope you feel better soon. Jo x
This card is perfect!! Love the image - the names of these cute stamps are very fitting, she looks like an Anthoinette for me... and the other one looked like a Francesca!
Get well soon!
Hugs,

Hi Jo, I am so glad you like the package...
I have been a bit half soaked lately, what with Pete's Mom and other issue's, I found the note card I had wrote you this morning under some images.doh...All it said was I was not sure what paper to use so I stamped them on a few different one's that I use, the thin one is copic paper so if you use promarker's I think they should work in the same way.
If you see anything else on my blog you would like to try, don't be shy.....
I loved the images you sent me, I am such an impulsive buyer and have lot's of stamp's that don't see the light of day, if I go to the NEC and see Charlotte, she's coming home with me.lol...
Hope your feeling better, I went to MIL's today with Pete. She's was a bit confused and sleepy, but that's the drug's.
Speak to you soon x
Vicky
oh oh oh I love this soooo much it's fab - she just glides across the card. Such fun

COOOL card Jo, and great idea to make her skate across your card.

Thanks for taking a look at my blog. I really like this card and the way you've arranged her to slide across the ice. Excellent.
