Neon Christmas Card



It's Rudolph Day over at Sarn's.  (Well it was on Wednesday - I'm a little late)  This is my first participation in Rudolph Day.  I mentioned I might join in and Sarn said she was looking forward to seeing a neon Rudolph Day card.  (Neon colours are my current obsession!)  I think she was joking... however I ran with it.





Also I saw a challenge a few weeks back for 'a card that makes us laugh' and couldn't think of anything to make.  I don't do funny really.  That annoyed me so I pushed myself...  It might not be wet-yourself-funny but hopefully it is a little amusing!


Prancer's neon antlers and Vixen's lovely lashes


I drew the reindeer, used my neon tapes and pens, coloured with promarkers and printed the sentiment to stick on. 




For Rudolph's nose I glittered and glazed and then glittered and glazed again.




Quite pleased overall.  My promarker-ing has definately improved... still room for more improvements... but I'll get there one day!


Thanks for stopping by!

    Aha . . . well that's where you're WRONG Laura . . . I was genuinely looking forward to seeing a NEON Rudolph Day card as I like all sorts of styles and NEON intrigued me!

    You've done a GREAT JOB not only on the colour scheme, but also on making an amusing card. It certainly made me chuckle!

    So, thanks for joining in with my little challenge. Good luck in the draw.

    Hugs

    Of course I had to come over and check out the neon Rudolph card. I've never really thought of neon as something that would be a phase (says the girl that had neon fingerless gloves and suspenders in high school). Love the joke. Those eyelashes! Oh my!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
