Hi folks! So pleased that this card turned out just as I had hoped. Really love the gorgeous Giordano 'Snowman' stamp set. I made a circular penny slider card. It took a while to get the 'mechanics' right, but I got there in the end.The backing paper is by Dovecraft. I used Copic markers to colour the stamped image. I die cut the image with my largest Nestability circle. I made a large square panel of the backing paper and cut a circle out using my WRMK circle cutter (this took lots of practice on copier paper to get the size right.) I adhered the square panel onto the front of the card with adhesive foam pads. I then popped the stamped image into the middle also adhered with foam pads. This left a circular gap around the main image for the penny slider to role.
I stamped the main image again, this time only colouring and cutting out the Father Christmas. I also die cut an acetate snowflake (Cuttlebug) and glittered the edges. I then took a penny, popped a circular foam pad in the centre, topped it with another penny then the snowflake and finally the Father Christmas. You can just about see one of the pennies I used in the photo above. I put the Snowflake slider in position and made sure it rolled smoothly. I finished the card off with some decorative corners (Sizzlets) and a ribbon bow on the panel at the bottom.Ciao for now!
