Fish Bowl

Hi all

I have been thinking about doing this card for a while, after playing with the gypsy at the weekend i thought i would give it a go. I have used the shadow box card as the base and the create a critter cartridge for all the cuts.

I used the water cut welded together to achieve the window cut in the card and also to cut the fish bowl in the middle thought about doing a tutorial but i have never done one before, if anyone thinks it would be useful let me know

Cant see that well on the pictures but when you pull the tabs out and in then the fish will swim

Slider Card

Hi all

I was looking at the sketch over on Die Cutting Divas, and thought about a taking this sketch and doing a slider card. This seemed like a good idea but it took a few goes to get it right. I have used a rectangle from the gypsy wanderings and welded 2 together for the slider, kept getting the wrong size to be able to use 2ps for the slider but got there in the end.

There is a lot of mothers day challenges at the moment and because it has already been in the UK I have made this card for a super special Lady in my life my 93 year old Grandma, I have used the colour blue as it is her favorite colour
